🌎♻️ SPARKS, WE’RE SO CLOSE! ♻️🌎
We have officially collected 70 POUNDS of snack pouches through our TerraCycle recycling program! 🎉 That means we only need 30 MORE POUNDS to reach our goal of 100 pounds this school year! 💚💙
We’re asking our Sparks families and staff to help us cross that finish line! Bring in your empty snack pouches from home—ALL BRANDS ARE WELCOME! 🍎🥛
And the best part? There’s NO need to wash or rinse them! 🙌
👉 Empty the pouch.
👉 Put the lid back on.
👉 Bring it to Sparks!
👉 We’ll take care of the recycling! ♻️
Every pouch brings us a little closer to 100 pounds and keeps waste out of the landfill. Let’s work together to reach our goal! 🌱
30 pounds to go… LET’S DO THIS, SPARKS! 💙💚🌎

TEAM Sparks! Let’s get 96% attendance this year.

We improved from 93% to 94% last year! However, we still need to improve.

Let’s rally together and make it happen!

Every school day counts.

Research shows that students who attend school consistently are more likely to stay on track academically and achieve better results. Being in class gives students more time to learn, ask questions, build relationships, and grow.

One day at a time, we're helping our students reach their fullest potential.

❤️💙 MEET THE TEAM: SPECIAL EDUCATION! 💙❤️

At Sparks Elementary, we know there is no one-size-fits-all path to success. Every student brings unique strengths, abilities, and possibilities—and this incredible team works together to make sure our students have the support they need to thrive! 🌟

Meet our Special Education Team:

⭐ DAIT: Emerita Garcia
📚 Resource Teacher: Judith Kelly
✏️ Resource Para: Kaitlyn Martinez
🧠 LSSP: Keri Machado
📋 SPED Clerk: Osmari Vivia
🗣️ Speech: Celiajoy Williams
💬 Speech Interpreter: Claudia Croson

Much like a classic 1950s team working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, each person brings something different and important to the table. Together, they support academics, communication, behavior, social-emotional development, independence, evaluations, services, families, teachers, and so much more.

Some victories are big and easy to see. Others happen one sound, one word, one skill, one strategy, or one independent step at a time. They all matter. ❤️

Our Special Education Team sees the ABILITY in every student and works tirelessly to remove barriers, build confidence, and create opportunities for success.

At Sparks, we don’t expect every student to take the same road—we make sure every student has a road that can take them somewhere great. 🚘✨

❤️ Different abilities.
💙 Individual journeys.
⭐ Endless possibilities.

Sparks Elementary — Making School Cool! 😎
