This community is truly special. We thank you - for your generosity, for rallying friends and family, for getting your kids excited. 276 families donated amounts ranging from $5-$2,000! We are SO excited about what we’ll be able to do with these funds and we could not have done it without you.

We heard everything from “I did 11 laps!” to “I’m so tired!” to “Can I have 2 popsicles if I run 8 laps instead of 4?” These kids crushed it. They encouraged each other. They giggled. They chased bubbles. Here are a couple of our favorite moments from the Fun Run day! Huge thanks to all who came out to volunteer and cheer, and thanks to those who couldn’t come but hyped your student up before the big day and celebrated their win when they came home!!

BIG KUDOS TO OUR SPONSORS!!!! Part of what makes Sylvan Park Elementary so great are the ways that we are lifted up by the community around us. We have parents who work hard to run businesses and give generously to help fund our goals. We have supporters across the neighborhood who seek out ways to give and participate and help. It takes a village and we have a great one! We hope you go and support each of these sponsors every chance you get! In addition, keep an eye out for spirit nights where we partner with businesses to get a percentage of sales donated to our school!

Based on input we gathered from the staff, the PTO recently discussed specific investments we will provide, including stocking our winter clothing closet, providing teachers with necessary supplies, funding a field trip for each grade, and offering exciting in-school experiences. Keep an eye out in the regular newsletter for updates! If you have ideas for this year and/or future years, please don’t hesitate to reach out to pto.spark.fundraising@gmail.com. We already have a few things in flight and we’re so excited to share more!

We take pride in the fact that we don’t bombard you with financial asks all year long. That said, there is no “deadline” or finish line for giving. Here are some ideas for giving all year long!
|
- Check your magnets and shirts and go support your sponsors.
- Keep an eye out for Spirit Nights with some of these sponsors as well!
- Scan your Box Tops.
- Buy your Amazon purchases via Amazon Smile, from which we get a portion of the sales!
- If you don’t have a yard sign and want one, reach out to your homeroom parent or PTO team.
- Remind your friends and family of how their generosity drives funding for so many important things for our school.
- And know that our link to donate (https://www.sylvanparkschool.org/donate/) is there all year long, should you get a hankering to give.

We appreciate it so very much!
