Spotlight on Fundraising!
Thank you so much to Jillian Acuña for planning the Bulls game fundraiser tonight! We hope all families have fun and rock out their South Park spirit while cheering on the Bulls! This was such a fun and creative idea to support our school! Look out for the next fundraising sporting event at Wrigley Field on June 1st!
Don't forget to bring in your grade's donations for Helping Hands Day. As of today, kindergarten is in 1st place and 3rd grade is in 2nd place!
Thank you for all your support! We can't wait for all the exciting events coming up this Spring!

Love It Labels
Keep your kid's stuff out of the Lost and Found this year (& support a Deerfield small business)!
School is back in session and we've partnered with a local Deerfield small business Love It Labels to label all your child’s gear! Countless belongings get lost throughout the school day, but can easily be returned to your child if it has a label on it!
Make sure to use our special link to order and 20% of the proceeds will automatically be donated back to the South Park PTO!
