Thank you so very much, we could not have made it without the generous support of each and every member of our Sylvan Park Elementary Community. Your generous donations have helped to fund the instructional interventionist, a position which provides crucial support for students who are not at grade level, and benefits all Sylvan Park students.
Much thanks to our fabulous teachers…. and to Dose Coffee for helping us to show our love with a great lunch.

POPSICLES for Participation was a success! 187 INVEST donations counted and over 52K raised to date. The rain held off just long enough for our panthers to enjoy their popsicles at recess! Thank you to each and every donation, we profoundly appreciate your support.
Only 9 days to go and we still need your help to reach our goal of $120K! Our need to retain an interventionist and other critical support is paramount and contributes to the success of every child at our wonderful school. We can’t do this without your support!
Join us for Sylvan Park Elementary Spirit Night!
WHERE: Nicky’s Coal Fired (view menu) 5026 Centennial Blvd
WHEN: Wednesday, October 2nd 5 – 8 pm
There will be light snacks, drinks, an official finish line, and more fun as we celebrate at the front of the building before school! Not normally a walker? That’s ok, everyone can participate!
You can participate from any of the above-listed locations, or simply pick a spot nearby and walk the rest of the way. Once you arrive at school – have some snacks, take your kiddos picture with the panther – and send them across the finish line to get their official participation ribbon and head into school. Now let’s get some family exercise, together!
Much thanks to Burn Boot Camp for sponsoring this event!
The Fun(d) Run takes places during your child(ren)’s related arts period on the playground – times listed here. Everyone is welcome! Hope to see you there.
INVEST is the actual fundraising campaign. The Fun(d) Run was created a few years ago as a way to get the kids excited and celebrate by doing a run around the track at the end of the campaign. They’ll get a “Fun Run” T-Shirt , another popsicle and pride for lots of laps around the track. And a great playlist curated by our very own Coach Scott for a dance party to boot!
*We want to express our deepest apologies for scheduling this event on Rosh Hashanah. We value and respect all cultures and traditions, and it’s important to us that everyone feels included and welcomed. We are committed to being more mindful and considerate in the future.
Over the last two weeks, students participated in our first school-wide seminar. Students worked in groups to complete the Cup and String challenge. Classes read the book Collaboration Station by Shannon Olsen and discussed what collaboration looks and sounds like in our classrooms.
In this seminar students will discuss the values of collaboration, mindset, teamwork, and communication and participate in an engaging and fun collaborative activity.
For our post-seminar activity, students worked in groups to create an informational poster to showcase their learning about what collaboration looks like and sounds like in our classrooms. Ask your child about this engaging and meaningful learning experience!
Each month, Teacher Appreciation will host a Stock the Lounge in the Teachers’ Lounge. Please sign up to show your appreciation!
Click the link to sign up to bring in treats OR send us some $$ on PayPal and we’ll do the shopping for you!
Thanks so much for helping us show the teachers and staff some love!
