Flythe at NFLYTHE@aacps.org     Sunset Elementary opened its doors in 1971.  Its open-space design is typical of school architecture of that time.  In 1996 we celebrated our 25th Anniversary, which was recognized by the Maryland House of Delegates.  That same year our school was lauded for its efforts to help needy children. We received a Governor's Citation, as well as an Achievement Award from the State Superintendent of Schools.  In 1997 and 1998 we were recognized for consistent progress on the Maryland School Assessment Program.  As a result we received a considerable grant award.     As experienced educators our staff strives to lead each and every child to his/her full potential.  We value and foster individual differences and abilities.  Sunset staff members are committed to the growth and development of the "whole" child.     In these challenging times we believe that it really does "take a village to raise a child."  Parent volunteers are essential to the effective functioning of our school.  Our PTA and CAC provide invaluable service to the school and surrounding community.  It is the relationship between school staff and parents that makes Sunset Elementary a special place to learn.
