We've had an amazing start to our 2025-26 school year!
With this edition of the SPARKY Digest, we want to acknowledge the amazing accomplishments within our community that took place during the month of July 2025.
Welcome Back Breakfasts - The Hospitality team, in collaboration with La Madaline Bakery, Someburros and parents, hosted a welcome back breakfast for all staff members at the Elementary, SPARK and High School campuses.
Survival Kits - PTSO collaborated with the Elementary Front Desk Admin and SPARK / HS Counseling teams to provide survival kits to teachers and staff members.
Chalk the Walk - Parents, students and teachers came out at all three campuses and chalked the walk before the first day of school. The names of every member of the class of 2026 were chalked by our Senior Parents.
SPARK / HS Pizza Party - Thanks to the generous donations from parents and the Superstition Ranch Farmer's Market, PTSO hosted a pizza party lunch for all SPARK and High School students on the first day school in collaboration with STEM Day implemented by Mrs. Popish.
We couldn't do what we do without our amazing Volunteers, so THANK YOU!
