Sylvan Park Fun Run 2022!

August 26th marked the beginning of our annual Fun Run fundraising period. At the end of our campaign period, all kids will participate in a walk/run during recess and have a party to celebrate the conclusion of the fundraising event. Students will also receive a free Fun Run t-shirt to wear the day of the race that can be worn as SSA (standard school attire) throughout the year!

We Can Do It!

We are well on our way to meeting our goal of $60,000 with a little over a month to go. This is the one time of year that we make an ask of every member of our school community. The funds raised during this time will contribute to the following uses:
  • Create a student hardship fund that supports students with financial need with things like purchasing standard school attire as well as helps ensure all SPE students can participate in field trips, the book fair, etc. This way everyone feels like they belong at SPE regardless of their financial background.
  • Do some basic classroom enhancements that support our kids' education. For example, the kindergarten teachers really need a color printer!
  • Lastly, we want to fund some more exciting student experiences for every student that would expose them to fun things. For example, going to the Nashville Symphony or even bringing them to us!
Keep an eye out for our fundraising thermometer that will be placed around the
school so everyone can see our progress!

You may have heard your kids talking about the friendly competition for fundraising within their grade. Each week, one class per grade with the highest donations for that week will win a popsicle party. Bragging rights are always better when accompanied by a cool treat. Donating today can help your child win a popsicle party for their classroom!

Here's What We Need From You...

We've done the math! To make our $60,000 goal, every family would need to give $150 per child in attendance. Not all our families can make this gift, so please give more if you can. In the end, gifts of all sizes make a difference for our students, our teachers and our school!
