Our Sullivan learning community is rich in diversity, size, and passion. Although we may be large, serving around 600 students in grades 4K-5, we are family, and we strive in our service together to ensure everyone is valued and appreciated. With collaboration being the heart of our learning community, we provide high quality learning experiences to enrich the linguistic, emotional, social, physical, and academic development of all our learners. Our teamwork, our bilingual, special education, and talent development programs, our school-wide trauma invested practices and strategic interventions enhance learning for our students. We value, recognize, and intentionally nurture partnerships with parents and families. Our learning community is enhanced by strong community partnerships. Our teachers are empowered leaders and learners of our learning community and embrace and model what we strive to develop in our students: risk-taking, resilience, growth mind-set, solution seeking, reflective thinking, empathy, compassion, investment in inquiry, ongoing rigorous learning and self efficacy. Working together to bring out the best in one another as learners, leaders, and caring and compassionate people is our passion. Contact Principal Tanya Fenner at trfenner@gbaps.org or 920-391-2470.
