Providing a Brave Place for Our Children

Sunday morning, our neighborhood, Sylvan Park, experienced antisemitism, racism and discrimination acts of hate. Five homes and bridge underpasses were vandalized with swastikas and racial slurs.

We will not tolerate this hate and our children deserve a better world and neighborhood. We know we can’t always provide a safe place, but we can provide a brave place for our children to learn and support every community.

We stand and guide with love and not hate while recognizing and teaching that the hate exists and needs to be talked about with action. Join us in talking to your kids about being brave in these spaces!

International Night - March 28

Please mark your calendar for the 2nd Annual Sylvan Park International Night on Tuesday, March 28th from 5:30-7pm in the school parking lot (rain date is Thursday, March 30th).

International Night is an opportunity for our students, families, faculty, & staff to share and experience the countries, cultures, & traditions found in our community. We are looking for volunteers to host a table or trunk space that reflects their country of origin.

Fundraising Summary

We are thrilled to share a summary of all the great ways your donation to the Fun Run Invest campaign has benefited our school so far this year. Our students are so fortunate to have such a caring and giving group of parents, friends, and community supporting them! You all are truly remarkable!
