2024 INVEST Campaign: We Made It!
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. 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.
A HUGE Thank You to all our business sponsors:
We Appreciate Our Teachers! Lunch Provided by Dose Coffee.
Much thanks to our fabulous teachers…. and to Dose Coffee for helping us to show our love with a great lunch.
INVEST Campaign: Popsicles for Participation.
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.
Haven’t contributed and would like to, NOW IS THE TIME!
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!
First school-wide seminar for the 2024-2025 school year: Collaboration Station
September School-wide Seminar
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!
9/27 is Picture Day for Sylvan Park Elementary School.

2024 INVEST Campaign and Fun(d) Run
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!
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!
Calling All Sponsors!
We do one large fundraiser a year and the time is now!
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.
Because of sponsors, we are able to continue to provide the children, faculty, and staff with an encouraging learning environment.
Do you own a business or know someone who does?
We’re looking for sponsors, at a variety of different levels. If you own a business or know someone who does, we’d love to hear from you!
