Sisters Parent Teacher Community Awards $7,400 in Literacy

The Sisters Elementary School library and classrooms have been awarded $7,400 by the Sisters Parent Teacher Community (SPTC) for the acquisition of books and literacy-building resources. This includes grade level classrooms and special classrooms such as Speech, Lifeskills, and Reading.
SPTC facilitator Peyton Griffin says, “We are so thankful for the contributions of families, businesses, staff, and students that resulted in our ability to bring so many new books and reading resources to SES.” SPTC raised the funds for this project through the school’s annual Green and Gold Gala Auction.
SES staff and parents decided that strengthening literacy programs throughout the school was the most important contribution SPTC could make this year. Literacy resources provided by the SPTC grants will be used to support teachers in the implementation of interventions and
enrichment opportunities targeted at specific skill development in order to advance student learning.
SPTC Treasurer Winter Lewis said “The SPTC contribution to the elementary school is the culmination of a lot of hard work by parents, staff, and administration. It is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated group.”

Over the Top Night!

Hats off to all for this year's Gala! We raised over $12,000 for Sisters Elementary School! Nearly 130 folks enjoyed an evening of music, dancing, and suspense as the Silent Auction outlasted the Live.

A special Thanks! to Aspen Lakes for hosting us and all the sponsors and donors who contributed to our effort in this tough economy.
