We will have our annual Valentine's social on Feb. 7. We will send a flyer home for tickets for the social and candy gram/carnation sales in advance in folders the week before the event. We will be selling candy grams and carnations from students to their classmates and teachers and delivered on 2/14. All of the proceeds go to the teachers to use in their classrooms.
|
|
This social is primarily run by teachers but we do need some parents to help with setup, cleanup and miscellaneous jobs. Please sign up here: Valentine's Social 2020.

Better late than never! We wanted to let you know about the great success of the Sylvan Park Social this year. The fundraising effort netted over $11,000. Those funds will go into the PTO's operating budget. The PTO uses that money to support the children, staff, and community of Sylvan Park throughout the year. Thanks to all of the many parent volunteers and teachers who made this year's event such a success. A special shout out goes to the solicitations team for securing over 140 auction items! And to Lizzie Williams and Sarah Grace for spearheading this year's art projects.

Join fellow Sylvan Park families for a potluck and game night at Preston Taylor Ministries Tuesday, Feb. 18. This night is always a hit and a great opportunity to get to know each other outside of the school setting. PTO provides a main dish and each grade will be asked to bring a particular side item. Stay tuned for further details!

Friendly school-wide competition for Box Tops!
The classroom contest will be Monday, February 3 through Friday February 21, 2020.We are competing with Eakin Elementary and West End Middle schools to see which school can collect the most this year! Please ask your neighbors, family and friends to start saving Box Tops for you today! Please DO NOT bring in Box Tops before February. General Mills pays us 10 cents per Box Top. Our school goal this year is $1,000! Every Box Top counts!
|
How to participate:
Box Tops are located on many name brand product packaging such as General Mills cereals, Lysol cleaner, Hefty trash bags, and MANY more. Cut out and collect as many Box Tops as possible at home or from friends, family and neighbors. Put your Box Tops in an old envelope, bag or rubber band. Bring Box Tops to school in February and place in your classroom’s Ziplock Box Top bag!
|
Helpful hints:
* Please count the number of box tops and write the total number of tops on the outside of the envelope/bag- this saves volunteer counters time!
* Make sure NOT to cut off the expiration date.
* Please check box tops before turning them in and make sure they are not expired. The earliest date of eligible Box Tops is 3/1/2020. We cannot get any money for our school with expired tops.
|
REMEMBER: Box Tops are transitioning to be digital and you can now scan your receipt using a mobile app. They are fading out of cut off Box Tops. Note to our seasoned collectors, do not be frustrated with lower numbers available.
