SPARK Participation Challenge Ends October 29th!

 

As the season of giving thanks is upon us, I want to take a moment to recognize all that we have to be grateful for here at Neil Cummins Elementary. I am grateful every day for our incredible community of students, teachers, staff and parents!


During the SPARKtober Participation Challenge, we encourage everyone in our community to show their appreciation for all our schools have to offer with a charitable gift to SPARK. Every donation to SPARK makes an impact just as every student benefits daily from learning opportunities in Music, Art, STEM, and Wellness/Counseling, plus Spanish and Leadership at Hall Middle School.


Thank you to the families and business partners who have already shown their commitment to our schools with a financial donation this year.


SPARK relies on parent support to help raise $1.45M each year. Please join our efforts with your gift to SPARK so our students can continue to receive an excellent and engaging educational experience, not just today, but in the future as well.

Thank you for all you do to support our schools and the LCMSD community!


Sincerely,

Kyle Shaw, Principal
