Community Challenge Week is all about participation. We tracked the progress across our community, shared daily updates, and highlighted some of the best Reasons to Love SPS—from hands-on learning to neighborhood connections to the incredible dedication of our teachers.

This year, our Community Challenge takes place October 20-24, 2025. Get ready! In the mean time, below is a recap of how the week unfolded.

Our parents were the super stars of the challenge. Their participation skyrocketed to 72 percent by the end of the week. Our students weren’t left out either, with five classes receiving a pizza party, extra recess and a dress down day. Way to go!!!

The support of our community—at all level—made a difference. Together, we are fueling a learning environment where students thrive.
