We are thankful for all of you!

The PTO is planning for South Park's first ever Fun Fair, filled with games, prizes, raffles, food, DJ and more! The only way we can make this day happen is with your help in filling one or more of the many 'day-of' volunteer slots! If we do not get at least 30 more volunteers to help run this event, then, we sadly we will need to postpone or cancel. We hope to be able to be bring this fun, new event to South Park. All proceeds from Fun Fair will be donated back to our school to fund new items in the classrooms, teacher supplies, assemblies, family events, and more!

*We welcome South Park alumni and 5th graders to volunteer to run games!
