The Sylvan Park Paideia Elementary School PTO operates to encourage home, family, and community participation in the lives of the school and its students, faculty, and staff through volunteer activities including the donation of time and services; and, to receive, invest and maintain a fund of money to use, apply, expend, disburse or donate exclusively for educational and community purposes relating to the school and its students, faculty, and staff.
We consider all parents and SPE staff part of the PTO. Check the calendar for upcoming meetings – all are welcome to attend. We are always in need of volunteers to help, whether it is for a one-time event or a year-long position. If you are interested in helping, please email pto.spark@gmail.com and we will be in touch. If you’d like to make a monetary donation, email our treasurer, Tyler Nelson. The Sylvan Park PTO is a 501(c)(3) organization.
