South Park PTO Spotlight
October 4, 2024
Spotlight on our Gift Coordinator!
Thank you so much to Michelle Kuhr for purchasing meaningful and creative gifts for our dedicated custodians in honor of the upcoming Custodian Appreciation Day on behalf of the South Park community. We hope they feel our gratitude for their daily work not only on this day but every day!
We can't wait to see you next week at the book fair!
We hope you enjoy the weekend!
Best,
Paula Sklar and Courtney Cohen, PTO Co-Presidents
Thank you to the South Park 2023-2024 Graduating Class!
Every year the PTO purchases a gift for South Park on behalf of the graduating 5th grade class. Last year the 5th graders voted on soccer goals as their gift. The students have been enjoying the soccer goals this week in PE class. Check them out in the field behind the playground. We hope the entire community will enjoy the soccer goals for many years to come!

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!
