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.

While school supply shopping is on the brain (& tax-free!) this weekend, please consider supporting our wonderful Art teacher, Ms. Williams, by visiting her Amazon wish list and sponsoring an item or two. 
Help us stock up the Art Room and promote kindness! Students earn kindness points for their class by showing kindness to themselves, each other, the teacher, materials, and the art room. When they fill up their kindness chart, they earn a free art day where I put out a lot of fun activities and supplies for them to use!
