At this time each year, we gather your donations to show our appreciation to Sylvan Park’s superb staff. Please consider donating by Paypal.
Donations will be collected through December 15.
Don’t forget to include “Holiday Staff Collection” in the memo!
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).

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!
Sylvan Park Elementary’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is raising funds to support the infrastructure of the school and it’s requested needs, teacher appreciation, and family hardship funds. Sponsoring Sylvan Park is an incredible way to highlight your commitment to our community.

As you gear up for the start of a new school year, remember it’s not just about notebooks and pencils—our art classes need your support too! Help make art more engaging and fun for your children by supporting our amazing Art teacher, Ms. Williams. By purchasing items from her Amazon wishlist, you’re not just stocking up our art room; you’re ensuring that our students have all the creative tools they need to thrive.
Each contribution also supports our “Kindness in Art” program, where students earn points for kindness towards themselves, each other, and their creative environment. Points lead to a “Free Art Day,” filled with special activities and extra supplies!
🌟 Please take a moment to check out and contribute to the SP Art Class Wish List. Let’s keep art vibrant and alive at Sylvan Park!
