Soaring Wings Parent/Teacher/Student Organization (SWPTSO) sponsors social, civic and fundraising events which enhance the school community, including: Cider Social, Rainbow Giveaway, Angel Trees, Yearbook and Soaring Wings Auction. The Auction, held in May, benefits our Children’s Planet Fund. This includes local and global programs chosen by students for their role in supporting a healthy world for children. Students budget and deliver donations to organizations such as the Summit County Library, Recycle Utah and Swaner Nature Preserve. The Children’s Planet Fund also funds our Teacher Enrichment program enabling teachers to attend an assortment of local, national and international teacher workshops and conferences.
Some of Our Causes
Over the years our Children’s Planet Fund has donated over $250,000 to charitable organizations, lending depth to our curriculum. We have maintained relationships with children on all continents as well as our “adopted” Navajo Grandmother, Frances Bahe, who continues to exchange letters, gifts and FaceTime calls with students. The Children’s Planet Fund provides a way for children to see that they can make a difference in their world.
How You Can Help
The outstanding parents, teachers and students who are the backbone of SWPTSO make sure that each social, civic and fundraising event is successful as well as lots of fun. Each volunteer brings experience, talent and enthusiasm to projects and events. We invite you to join us! Watch the newsletter for the next SWPTSO event. Donations are gratefully accepted.
