4PawsRescue! - 4PawsRescue 4
On October 18th, we had the incredible support of Peoria Subaru, who generously sponsored our adoption event and brought their enthusiastic team members to help. Not only did they provide much-needed resources for the event, but they also went above and beyond by volunteering their time to socialize our adorable kittens.
The energy and care they brought to the event made a huge difference in the kittens' experience, and it was evident that their presence helped make the event even more special. Thanks to the combined efforts of Peoria Subaru’s team, our dedicated volunteers, and all the loving adopters who came out, we were able to find forever homes for 10 of our wonderful cats! The joy and excitement of seeing so many kittens go to loving families was truly heartwarming, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the partnership with Peoria Subaru. We want to extend a huge thank you to Peoria Subaru for their kindness, generosity, and support of our mission.
Together, we’re making a lasting impact in the lives of these cats and the families who adopt them. Here’s to more successful events and happy tails ahead!

Let's DOUBLE it!! - Jennifer D
Sunburst Elementary was in for a surprise this morning during a special assembly featuring Peoria Subaru! Sunburst Principal Jennifer Dial kicked off the event by highlighting the many ways that Peoria Subaru has supported the school over the past two years from volunteering at Read Across America to donating bikes, supplies and candy for its Trunk or Treat event. Then, students representing every grade level were split into two teams for a friendly puzzle competition. After the fun, Matt Moore from Peoria Subaru shared about the importance of education and the critical role of teachers. He then surprised the school with a check for $15,000 before deciding to double it, donating a grand total of $30,000! It was the highlight of the assembly as it came as an incredible surprise to all and filled the room with excitement and gratitude. The donation was a part of Subaru Loves Learning®, a national program championed by Subaru of America, Inc. that helps provide funding for teachers at high-needs schools across the country to purchase the school supplies and resources needed to help their students succeed. Benefitting more than 625 students, the donation will provide Sunburst teachers with $500 worth of funding each to purchase supplies for the school year on the AdoptAClassroom.org Marketplace. A huge thank you to Peoria Subaru for their generous donation and ongoing support of Sunburst and the #WESDFamily!
Hardest Week of the Year - Miranda B
As a teacher one of the hardest weeks of the year is the first week of school. This year we at Peoria Subaru wanted to give back. We thought of one small thing we could do was take cupcakes and poster to celebrate that the teachers made it through the week! Thank you teachers for all you do! SUBARU LOVES LEARNING!
Peoria Subaru truly cares! - Jennifer D
Lamp of Learning Award In the Spring of 2022 we were connected to Peoria Subaru through Adopt-A-Classroom. We were extremely surprised and grateful to learn that Peoria Subaru was going to support six of Sunburst’s teachers to help supply their classrooms and students for the upcoming school year. We connected with Miranda Burris and little did we know our partnership with Peoria Subaru would blossom over the upcoming years. Immediately after our connection, Peoria Subaru became part of our community through Read Across America by conducting in classroom readings, supporting the Annual Sunburst Learning Fair, and setting up and volunteering at our Scholastic Book Fair. In the Spring of 2023 we were delighted to learn that Peoria Subaru would continue their support through Adopt-A-Classroom for the 2023-2024 school year. Every dollar matters and our teachers appreciated the continued generosity of Peoria Subaru. However, we did not expect Matt Moore the owner of Peoria Subaru to increase the donation by $12,500 to a total of $15,000. The contribution this year was entirely unexpected and has enabled 25 additional staff enrich their learning environments through flexible seating, school supplies, and STEM kits. Peoria Subaru’s support continued throughout the year. In October of 2023 Peoria Subaru helped Sunburst with our free Trunk or Treat Halloween event. Peoria Subaru donated 8,000 pieces of candy and 1,300 bags of pretzels. Not only did Peoria Subaru donate, they came dressed up in costumes and distributed the candy and pretzels from two themed Subarus, one Candyland and one Hocus Pocus. Many of the parents were surprised that a car dealership was so passionate and committed to helping our school. It is on November 19, 2023 that truly made us understand that Peoria Subaru is more than just a car dealership. Matt and Miranda invited us to their annual bike build event, which provided 31 bikes to 19 families. Prior to the event they asked us for 10 students who needed a bicycle. The event was kept as a surprise to the children. The Sunburst team and the Peoria Subaru team worked in tandem to build and customize each bike for these unsuspecting children. The event started with food trucks, cupcakes, and stuffed animals for each child. Just when the families thought the event was ending, the children were surprised with a bicycle that was customized to their height and equipped with helmets and safety gear. The look on each child’s face as their customized bike was presented to them was a joy for all those present. We thought this was the end of the event. Well it turns out, Peoria Subaru had a surprise for the parents too. Matt presented a check to each family for $500. This was a huge surprise to all of us, not even the Sunburst team knew about the checks. What Peoria Subaru nor Sunburst knew is one family that day was going through a rough time. The mother was in the ICU that week and was just released the Friday before the event. The family almost didn’t attend, as they wanted to stay with Mom. However, Mom insisted normalcy be restored so dad and kids attended the event. Not only did Peoria Subaru deliver a break to that family from the reality of life, the $500 check helped alleviate the burden of the unplanned medical bills. Peoria Subaru didn’t just host a bike build event that day, they helped bring joy and restore normalcy to a family in need. Peoria Subaru is more than just our Adopt-A-Classroom partner, Peoria Subaru is part of the Sunburst community. Peoria Subaru continues to support Sunburst as if our team is their team. We never imagined in 2022 when we first connected with Miranda that a year later Peoria Subaru would be helping families in need. We are truly grateful for the team at Peoria Subaru and we are proud to award the Lamp of Learning to Peoria Subaru. The Lamp of Learning is Washington Elementary School District’s highest honor and recognizes the extraordinary contributions to Washington Elementary School District’s Vision, Mission and Values. We were so proud to recognize Peoria Subaru at our Lamp of Learning celebration on April 19, 2024. The Subaru Love Promise is real and we are extremely grateful we were able to be recipients of Peoria Subaru’s Love Promise.
