Mayor Freddie O’Connell delighted Sylvan Park Elementary School kindergartners as Ms. Williams’ “Mystery Reader” on Friday, March 7. He read Lulu & Rocky in Nashville, taking the children of Ms. Williams, Ms. Maynard, Ms. Brodak, and Ms. Knight on a literary adventure through the city’s sights and sounds—from the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame to the sweet treats at The Goo Goo Shop.

A Paideia Project is a unit of study that combines teacher instruction and student learning around a specific topic. It includes a seminar and a student project that captures the ideas and values explored during the seminar.
This year, we kicked off our seminar with a school-wide discussion on the book Ada Twist, Scientist—a story about a young girl with a head full of questions! The themes of perseverance, curiosity, and imagination guided students as they created science projects exploring topics they learned about.
Families are invited to visit during their child’s grade-level tour time:
We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating our students’ hard work! 🎉

Our annual INVEST Campaign is dreaming BIG for the 2024-2025 school year as we strive to reach our goal of $120K!
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 hope you took advantage of this opportunity, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated. Your support means the world to us!
