Thank you to everyone who has helped us get the INVEST Campaign rolling... we are a quarter of the way to our goal.

Highlights this week:

INVEST: We are a Quarter of the Way to our Goal!

Why 120,000
Thank You for INVESTing in our school. We appreciate your support. We can’t meet this goal without our whole community.

Our campaign depends on the cooperation and support of our students’ parents… but we hope you will help us to widen the net. Please share the campaign with grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends. The more people participate, the better the campaign will be!

Appreciation Notes For Teachers.

Thank You Teachers

By now you should have received an email from your room parent requesting that you send in a note of appreciation for our teachers. 

Each grade level was assigned a theme.  These notes are due no later than Wednesday afternoon. These notes should be to all teachers at Sylvan Park, not just your homeroom teacher.  If you would like to email your note instead or have any questions please email Theresa Yarber at tsyarber@gmail.com.  Be sure to include your theme word if you send a note.

Volunteer @ Sylvan Park

The Sylvan Park PTO's mission depends on the help of people from our school community who give their time and energy to make Sylvan Park special. Volunteering at the school is a great way to be part of our school and meet other Sylvan Park families.

There are lots of ways to help at Sylvan Park. Some jobs are big, some are small, and you can volunteer at school or from home. No matter how busy you are, there's a way for you to join in. When you help out, our community gets stronger, and you'll feel good about it. :)
