March 2nd is fast approaching and we are less than one week away from the most fun SPARK event of the year! Here is some important information you need to know:

Doors open and the silent auction starts at 7:00 p.m. The silent auction will close by section beginning around 8:40 and all sections will be closed by 9:00. The live auction will begin at 9:00 and will be followed by dancing and other fun until 11:00. The auction is at Mason Murer at 199 Armour Drive. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price of your ticket and a full bar is available for purchases (yes – that’s a full bar, we got the feedback from last year!).

Auction Catalog
Addendum (added 3/2/2013)

The SPARK community gets together each Spring to celebrate and raise money for the school. All proceeds go directly to supporting the amazing work that is going on at our school.

What is it? SPARK after DARK is one of Springdale Park’s largest fundraisers. As parents, we participate in lots of fundraisers – those we love and those we just do because we should. This one is different. It’s all about the adults of Springdale Park getting together for a relaxing night of socializing, eating, drinking, dancing and bidding on great items to raise money for the school.

Why? Unfortunately, we all know that the funding provided by our tax dollars and the government doesn’t quite get our kids what the experts think they need right now. All money collected from the auction will go toward things like the following for our children and teachers:

Essential learning tools such as Saxon Phonics, Study Island, IXL Learning Programs, First in Math, Accelerated Reader, Star Reading and Star Math
Professional development and training to support our teachers as they implement the new National Common Core State Standards
Additional online resources for our Mathematics curriculum
