SPARKlers in July! 

Summer Program for Arithmetic, Reading, and Knowledge 

SPARK aims to develop a lifelong love of reading and math while raising money to fund the 2023-2024 PTA Operating Budget. The PTA operating budget helps fund family events like Dragonfest, Teacher Appreciation, Teacher Start up funds in the Fall, and InReach. 

 

Continue logging all hours spent reading or practicing math skills this summer. Every student who participates will be eligible for awesome prizes at the SPARK assembly in the fall. The more hours you log, the more chances you have to win including special prizes for students who log at least 100 hours! Use the SPARK Bubble Tracker Sheet or log hours online using Beanstack for current DES students. Regardless of tracking method, total hours will be submitted via a Google Form in September. More information about SPARK can be found here.  

 

While the students are hard at work this summer, feel free to donate now using this link and share with family members and friends who will be supporting your student on their SPARK goals.
