In appreciation of your generosity, the school may advertise your business on our school website and in school newsletters in the weeks leading up to our fundraising event.  Sylvan Park Elementary is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, therefore any donations to the school fundraiser are tax-deductible.

School-wide Seminar for “Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem”

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!

We started this year with the most ambitious fundraising goal that we have ever had… And we made it!

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.
