Month: August 2019

Our first annual Panther Pride Fun Run kicks off this Friday, Sept 6th!  All students will have the opportunity to take part in our Fun Run Pep Rally and each will receive a Fun Run wristband, which includes the link to our online donation form.

Throughout September, financial donations may be made by parents, grandparents, neighbors, family and friends. We’re seeking monetary contributions earmarked for technology, books, supplies, recreational equipment and community and family events. The Panther Pride Fun Run Campaign will be the only time this year that we ask for monetary donations for our school. 

Our campaign will conclude with our school-wide Fun Run on Friday, October 4th.  The Fun Run will take place on our outdoor track during each grades’ Related Arts time.  All students and teachers will receive a free Fun Run t-shirt and have the opportunity to participate in this year’s Fun Run (with or without a donation).  We encourage parents, family members and friends to attend.

Keep an eye out for a flyer with donation details to come home in your child’s folder this Friday!

Let’s show our Sylvan Park staff how much we love them by filling their lounge with necessities and special treats! Please bring all items to the downstairs staff lounge on Wednesday, September 11. If you would like to bring non-perishable items early, please ensure that they are clearly marked “Teacher Appreciation” and drop them in the main office.

The PTO Diversity Committee has completed our first bulletin board of the school year! Throughout the year, we use this space to highlight the diversity in Sylvan Park and our world. We hope you ask your child(ren) about each display and utilize the messages as a starting point for family discussions. If you are interested in joining the committee to work this and other projects, email Valerie Cordero at valerie.d.cordero@gmail.com.
