“Why” Behind Our $120,000 Goal

The Sylvan Park’s 2023/24 INVEST Campaign Target = $120,000

We can’t meet this goal without our whole community. We’ve got a bold goal this year but we’re confident we can reach it with your support! 

For the past several years Sylvan Park has benefited from a much-needed instructional interventionist, which provides crucial support for students who are not at grade level. This position was previously supported by federal COVID relief funds that will end soon.  If we do not fund this position ourselves, we will lose it and the benefit it brings to Every Single Child at our school. 

In addition to the funding the interventionist position, INVEST Campaign funds will be used to continue to provide for community events, teacher / classroom needs, our hardship fund and more.

Home Room Parents Needed

Are you looking for a rewarding way to be involved at Sylvan Park?

The PTO needs a Home Room Parent (HRP) for each classroom. HRPs are a tradition at Sylvan Park! This role serves as a liaison between teachers, parents, and the PTO board.

Please consider volunteering for this most rewarding role for your child’s classroom this year.

Email your child’s teacher if interested!
