The PTA Needs You!
Many PTA Board positions are open for next year. Executive board positions have term limits, so new members are needed for our robust SCES PTA to continue. You don’t have to do it all, and there are plenty of returning members to guide you, and the outgoing volunteers are usually available to support your transition into the role as well!
The PTA organizes events:
- Welcome Back Social
- Scholastic Book Fair
- Poetry Night
- Math Night
- GeoBowl
- World Culture Day
- STEAM Fair
- Book Share
The PTA organizes the in-house Salamander Stride as our one fundraiser a year, keeping 100% of the profits!
Indoor recess games, outside soccer balls, affordable field trips, room parent coordination, T-shirts, safety signage, after-school activities, teacher appreciation, student advocacy, representation in the wider MCCPTA community…all happen because Sligo Creek has a PTA!

Stock the Teacher Lounge!
Help keep the amazing Staff Lounge stocked with snacks and drinks for our amazing teachers and staff throughout the year!
Every donation makes a difference, and there are several easy ways you can help:
- Order through local grocery store, Instacart, Costco, Amazon etc. and have it delivered to the school [500 Schuyler Road, Silver Spring, MD 20910] Note: You’ll need to indicate Attention: Staff Appreciation in the address line.
- Drop off donations directly to the school (a box will be located outside the main doors).
- For perishable items (like fresh fruit), please email us at appreciation@scespta.org so we can coordinate immediate delivery to the lounge.
Throughout the year, we’ll also host several special appreciation events. For these, volunteers will be essential—so if you’re interested in helping, please let us know!
With gratitude,
Simon Sharpe and Mindy Milby
co-chairs of the Staff Appreciation Committee
