INVEST in Your Child
Sylvan Park Paideia Design Center
This is voluntary, tax deductible donation. It is our biggest and easiest fundraiser. All dollars raised go directly to the school in support of our students. This means that we share profits with no one! The more that you give, the more that we will have to help the school and students.
HOW DO I INVEST?
Fill out and return the pledge form, print it off the website or use the link below to invest online.
HOW CAN I PAY?
Payment of the pledge amount is flexible. You may pay in full or you may make partial payments monthly.
HOW MUCH DO I PLEDGE?
No amount is too small. Every single dollar pledged is much needed and welcomed!
WHERE WILL MY MONEY GO?
Sylvan Park Paideia Design Center PTO spends every dollar at Sylvan Park, funding projects that affect every student and teacher. We recently spent money on Cafeteria Improvement, a digital sound system for the auditorium, laptops for teachers and school-wide educational software subscriptions. Everything that we support with these funds that will help to continue to make sure Sylvan Park continues to reach the outer limits!
