South Park PTO Spotlight

As we start our fall season, one of our favorite family and fundraising events of the year is our Book Fair! It is a wonderful event that brings our South Park community together to encourage our kids to be curious and consistent readers! It also takes a huge team to plan and produce this event for South Park. We are so thankful for this amazing team of volunteers for their time and dedication to this event and our school! So with that, a huge thank you to Jillian Acuna, Jennifer Siegel, Hien Lyons, Desiree Novak, Rebecca Bombard, Nicole Dunn, Lara Wilson & Elizabeth Adelman for their amazing work on this year's Book Fair planning and production!

Enjoy the weekend!

Paula Sklar and Courtney Cohen, Co-Presidents
