South Park PTO Spotlight

South ParkPTO SpotlightMarch 15, 2025

Spotlight on Spring Spirit & Shakes!

It is almost mid-March and the weather today is definitely giving us all those Spring vibes! And there is no better way to bring in 'Spring Spirit' than with our new line of Spring Spirit Wear! Rachel Fisher and Andi Rosenfeld have again curated an awesome line of fresh, new South Park gear along with Snflwr Swag! And this collection also includes customized South Park Jibbitz for those summer Crocs! How fun! Order by Friday, March 21 and see the flyer below for all additional details!


Also, Spring also would not be Spring without a delicious milkshake in hand and that is why our third Dine and Donate of the year is at Shake Shack on Tuesday, March 18! Thanks to Lauren Pappas, Jenny Jacoby and Emily Schernecker for planning this event and we hope you take advantage of a day off of meal planning and head to the Deerfield Shake Shack! We appreciate that 25% of profits benefit the South Park PTO!


We hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Courtney Cohen and Paula Sklar, PTO Co-Presidents
