What is the Fun(d) Run?

INVEST is the actual fundraising campaign. The Fun(d) Run was created a few years ago as a way to get the kids excited and celebrate by doing a run around the track at the end of the campaign. They’ll get a “Fun Run” T-Shirt , another popsicle and pride for lots of laps around the track. And a great playlist curated by our very own Coach Scott for a dance party to boot!

*We want to express our deepest apologies for scheduling this event on Rosh Hashanah. We value and respect all cultures and traditions, and it’s important to us that everyone feels included and welcomed. We are committed to being more mindful and considerate in the future.

October 2nd is Walk to School Day

National Walk to School Day

Join us Wednesday, October 2nd for National Walk to School Day.

There will be light snacks, drinks, an official finish line, and more fun as we celebrate at the front of the building before school! Not normally a walker? That’s ok, everyone can participate! 

  • Walkers: Please walk from home like usual! 
  • Bus Riders: Will be dropped off at a nearby church and walk the rest of the way with school staff. 
  • Car Riders: We encourage you to join a walking group from McCabe Park, Richland Park or the corner of Colorado & 42nd! Just park at one of the locations, as we will have volunteers at the ready who will lead the walking groups to the school. Please arrive at a gathering location at 7:15AM to join one of those walking groups. Or come later to simply walk on your own! Parents – please do not drop off your children to walk (even with a group) – please join them in walking to school. 
Volunteers Needed: Sign up Now

You can participate from any of the above-listed locations, or simply pick a spot nearby and walk the rest of the way. Once you arrive at school – have some snacks, take your kiddos picture with the panther – and send them across the finish line to get their official participation ribbon and head into school. Now let’s get some family exercise, together!

2024 INVEST Campaign and Fun(d) Run

Sylvan Park Invest 24

Sylvan Park’s 2024-25 INVEST Campaign kicked off this past week!

UPDATE: We are halfway to the end of our INVEST Campaign and have raised over $35K, 30% towards our goal of $120K! We are coming up on our final push to secure funds for our much needed Interventionist and we still very much need your help! 

With 16 days left in the campaign we are announcing POPSICLES FOR PARTICIPATION. This event is our effort to secure 150 INVEST donors by the end of this week! POPSICLES FOR PARTICIPATION is an all inclusive, school wide celebration. If we reach 150 donors, your child will receive a popsicle during their scheduled recess hour on Monday, September 23rd. Already donated? Share with a friend or family member! Thank you!

Our annual INVEST Campaign is dreaming BIG for the 2024-2025 school year as we strive to reach our goal of $120K!
