Sonnenberg Schools

Thank you to the volunteers, families, staff and community members who rolled up their sleeves and joined us yesterday!

We can't wait to welcome students into this beautiful space and continue building opportunities for learning, growth and community ❤️

Come back and visit anytime Lauren Sklba + TMJ4 News!

Volunteers spent their Saturdays helping Sonnenberg Schools prepare the former Jefferson Lighthouse Elementary School building in Racine to welcome students again this fall. Read more at the link in the comments.

Our annual ABC Countdown to Summer has wrapped and we had such a blast!

We're already thinking of fun ideas for next years countdown!

We are beyond grateful to our families, friends and community members who have supported our Check-A-Thon so far 💙

Because of your generosity, we’re now less than $1,000 away from our $7,000 goal, which would fully pay off our playground!

What an incredible way to wrap up the school year and head into the next one, with this big milestone behind us.

Today is our last day of school and our final push to reach the goal. If you’re able to contribute, any amount truly helps. Just click the link below to be taken to our donation page:

Thank you for showing up for our students all year long and for being such an amazing community. We appreciate you more than we can say 💛

Yesterday, our 1st through 5th graders took a field trip the Racine Zoo!

They attended the "Animals of the World" educational program, where they learned all about reptiles and then spent the day exploring.

Thank you, Racine Zoo, for having us! We can't wait to come back!

Thank you to Rhino Bar (and friends of Rhino Bar) for their generous $3,400 donation to our school! 🥳

We were thrilled to have one of our incredible students, Donald, present the check on behalf of his family and the Rhino Bar community.

Thank you so much for your support! We are truly honored ❤️

Last week, we had our annual end of year Block Party! It was amazing seeing all the students and families together before we break for Summer🌞

Music, bags, free books, dancing, food, and a book fair. So much fun!

Special thanks to Mr.P's Grilled Cheese LLC and Kona Ice for keeping us fed and cool.

Thanks to everyone that joined us. We can't wait to do it again 💙

We love seeing all the staff and students participate!

Today our entire Sonnenberg Schools staff had the opportunity to tour our new campus at 1722 W. 6th St. and begin the exciting work of preparing the space for our students.

Staff worked together moving items from our administrative building, rearranging furniture, and getting classrooms and spaces ready. It was a long, exhausting day, but the teamwork was incredible and a reminder of how much heart goes into this organization every day.

This is just the beginning of what will be a very busy summer as we continue preparing this campus for our amazing students. We ended the day sharing lunch together in our new gym… tired, excited, and incredibly thankful for such a dedicated staff! 💙

Our annual Check-a-Thon is here 💙

As a small nonprofit school serving students with disabilities right here in Racine, we rely on the support of our community to help us continue growing and serving the amazing students and families who walk through our doors.

Our goal is to raise $7,000 through this initiative by May 28th!

If Sonnenberg Schools has impacted your family, touched your heart, or if you simply believe in supporting our mission, we’d be incredibly grateful for any donation.

Thank you for continuing to support our students, our staff and our mission. It truly means more than you know.
