During the month of November, students participated in our second school-wide seminar using the book, Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem by Amanda Gorman. The values and ideas for this seminar were change, tolerance, courage, and dreams. Students discussed what change they want to be and see for our world. For the post-seminar writing activity, students completed the sentence, Change is… on a tissue paper square. The squares were put together to create stained glass windows and hung in the front of our school. Stop by and check out our display showing what change is to our students! A BIG thank you to Amy Thompson for creating the stained-glass displays!
Fall Clean Out: Help us to keep our school closet stocked with great options for any student who needs them by donating what no longer fits.
What: your students’ outgrown (NOT worn out) SSA and spirit wear
Where: bins at the main entrance AND car rider entrances OR drop off at 4209 Idaho Ave
When: Nov 13-15
Why: Donated clothes will be used for distribution to SP students, re-stocking Sylvan Park’s closet for future/urgent needs, and contributing to Metro’s warehouse of SSA (from whence all schools, including SP, can & do request SSA in particular sizes/styles as needs arise).
Bonus: Surplus Sylvan Park Spirit wear will likely be available for all students & families at the Book Fair 11/19-11/21 (donation to SP PTO’s hardship fund optional).

Thank you so very much, we could not have made it without the generous support of each and every member of our Sylvan Park Elementary Community. Your generous donations have helped to fund the instructional interventionist, a position which provides crucial support for students who are not at grade level, and benefits all Sylvan Park students.
Much thanks to our fabulous teachers…. and to Dose Coffee for helping us to show our love with a great lunch.
POPSICLES for Participation was a success! 187 INVEST donations counted and over 52K raised to date. The rain held off just long enough for our panthers to enjoy their popsicles at recess! Thank you to each and every donation, we profoundly appreciate your support.
Only 9 days to go and we still need your help to reach our goal of $120K! Our need to retain an interventionist and other critical support is paramount and contributes to the success of every child at our wonderful school. We can’t do this without your support!
Over the last two weeks, students participated in our first school-wide seminar. Students worked in groups to complete the Cup and String challenge. Classes read the book Collaboration Station by Shannon Olsen and discussed what collaboration looks and sounds like in our classrooms.
In this seminar students will discuss the values of collaboration, mindset, teamwork, and communication and participate in an engaging and fun collaborative activity.
For our post-seminar activity, students worked in groups to create an informational poster to showcase their learning about what collaboration looks like and sounds like in our classrooms. Ask your child about this engaging and meaningful learning experience!
Mark Your Calendars! Picture Day for Sylvan Park Elementary School is scheduled for Friday, Sep 27.
