Spotlight on our Birthday Sign Committee

As the end of the year draws to a close, we wanted to thank our Birthday Sign Committee! This committee is chaired by Jovanna Simkin who stays incredibly on top of our birthday sign orders and organizes their distribution via our awesome group of delivery volunteers! We would like to thank this whole committee including, Jenny Keeney, Brooke Goldberg, Lauren Levine, Carly Walder and Melanie Rosenbloom for making many South Park students' birthdays extra special!

Be on the look out in the fall for information regarding ordering Birthday Signs! You can also still order this year until May 30!

Enjoy the first weekend of May!

Paula Sklar and Courtney Cohen, PTO Co-Presidents
