Thank you for the great turnout at Grandparents & Granola! We loved seeing everyone there supporting our students!

Thank you to all those who have donated to our Fun Run campaign so far! We have a large goal of raising $60,000 this year to support Sylvan Park Elementary, and every bit helps. This week we will award the first popsicle parties to the classrooms in each grade that raise the most money. If you’d like your child’s class to win a popsicle party, donate today at www.sylvanparkschool.org/donate!

Please plan to join us at our annual PTO in the Park on Thursday, September 15 from 6-7 p.m. Bring a picnic and your family to Richland Park for a casual hang out. This is a great way to meet other parents, students and friends in our community!

Join Ms. Goetz at her quarterly check-in via Zoom this Friday, September 9 from 8:15-8:45 a.m. Find the Zoom link at sylvanparkschool.org or click here.

Sign up here to bring something fun to stock the lounge for our teachers and staff. Items can be dropped off at the front office on Thursday, September 8. Thanks for helping us show our incredible Sylvan Park staff how much we appreciate them!

Donate to our Fun Run today! The class with the most money raised this week will get a popsicle party – woohoo!

The Ukulele Sprouts Club introduces all of the fundamentals of the playing of stringed instruments using the best kids’ instrument ever – the ukulele!
In Ukulele Sprouts we use original songs that were created on the uke to add essential motor skills seamlessly, one by one. We teach by ear which we believe is the most natural way to learn music, so there is no practice book necessary – all you need is your ukulele! ++ We design the classes to move quickly from one exercise to the next so students remain engaged while building skills, and we have them playing multiple chords and songs in a matter of weeks!This class is an effortless way to become musically fluent in a short amount of time, and your kiddos will be able to continue on ukulele or move over to guitar, fiddle, or bass or banjo with ease.

Appropriate for beginners ages 5-10++ – Promo code for 10% off of a Kala brand Ukulele provided after registration!
Ukulele Club meets on Tuesdays from 3pm-4pm. Register here: https://nashvillesprouts.com/products/fall2022sylvanpark

This club will lead children outside, to explore Richland Creek Greenway, the surrounding woods, and creek!

Girl Scout Troop 672 is a multi-level troop: Daisies (K-1), Brownies (2-3), Juniors (4-5). Our all-troop meetings will be on the first Thursday of each school month from 6:00p-7:30p, plus several additional opportunities for activities, trips and break-out grade level meetings each semester. And of course, as our yearly big fundraiser for all our fun, we sell everyone’s favorite COOKIES! Cost for participation in the 2022-23 school year is $90 ($25 Girl Scouts of Middle TN registration, $25 troop snack fee, $40 uniform). Interested families can email us at sylvanparkgirlscouts672@gmail.com and we will respond with the registration link and be happy to answer any additional questions.

Open House is TONIGHT, August 23. Parents/ guardians will report directly to the classroom. We will host two sessions, 6p-6:30p and 6:35p-7:05p. Both sessions will be the same so families with more than one child or more than one teacher can meet each teacher (if you have more than 2 children at SP or more then 2 teachers- 5th grade- please make arrangements with the teacher to get the information that you need).

Open House is intended for parents, not students. We WILL have childcare for potty-trained children age 3 and older (just bring your child to the gym) during Open House so that you can focus on the information being shared. Please sign up here for child care so that we can make appropriate plan.
