Together, We’re Making a Difference

This year, the Second Street School PTSA has been hard at work enhancing the experience of both students and staff. Thanks to the support of our members, volunteers, and community partners, we’re proud to celebrate these accomplishments:

Character Strong Partnership
We teamed up with the school’s councils to provide custom keychains supporting the Character Strong curriculum. Each month, one student from every class is recognized for exemplifying the character word of the month and receives a certificate and keychain honoring their achievement.

Community Engagement
With your help, the PTSA sponsored a table at the BETA Club’s Trunk or Treat, creating a fun and festive experience for students and families while supporting another great school-led initiative.

School Resources
We purchased a new laminator to help teachers and staff prepare classroom materials that last, saving time and reducing costs for our educators.

Fundraising and Partnerships
Through our partners and fundraising efforts, we’ve been able to purchase a commercial refrigerator for the FoodPrints classroom and a commercial fan for the gymnasium, enhancing both learning and activity spaces for students.

Paper Drive Success
Thanks to your generosity, we raised enough funds to purchase three pallets of paper—nearly enough to supply the entire school for the year! This ensures teachers have the resources they need to focus on what matters most: our students.

Fall Door Decorating Contest
We sponsored prizes for the Fall Door Decorating Contest, including ice cream sundae parties for winning classrooms and wish list items for the teachers of the top doors. The event brought creativity, teamwork, and school spirit to the hallways of SSS!

Community Partnership with Lowe’s Hometown Heroes
Partnering with Lowe’s Hometown Heroes, we enhanced the front entrance of Second Street School and added picnic table seating for an outdoor classroom, along with additional seating on the playground. This project improves both the school’s curb appeal and its learning spaces for students.

Staff Appreciation
We’ve shown gratitude to our amazing staff throughout the year with small tokens of appreciation and fun treats—like celebrating National Candy Apple Day with sweet surprises! These gestures remind our educators how valued they are by the SSS community.

Stay Tuned!
We have even more exciting initiatives and accomplishments to share—our best work is yet to come!
