IT’S PARTY HOST SIGN-UP WEEK! 

Spoede Parties are all about connection and building community!

Parties are hosted by Spoede parents who choose a theme or activity. Parties can be adult-only, family-friendly, grade-level specific, or open to all students. Party hosts provide the space, cover the costs, and set the guest limit. Guests then buy tickets to the event, and all funds support the SSA.

Parties can be held anytime after November 23, 2025 through Summer 2026.

Want to Host? Complete this Google form by this Friday, November 14.

Tickets go on sale next Monday, November 17!

The SSA Executive Board meets monthly on a Tuesday morning after drop-off at 8:50 a.m. in the Spoede Cafeteria. These are open meetings. If you are interested in getting more involved with the SSA, have ideas to share, or are just curious, please join us!

ALL 4th Graders will receive a FREE 2025-26 Spoede Yearbook!

Thanks to the generosity of the community and a successful Dance-a-Thon fundraiser, the SSA will purchase a yearbook for every 4th grader.

Please disregard messages from Wagner about ordering a yearbook for your 4th grader.

Direct any questions about yearbooks to ssaexecboard@gmail.com. 

Help us show our appreciation for Spoede's amazing teachers and staff! We're stocking the lounge with snacks and drinks to keep them fueled throughout the day, all year long. Each month has a different theme.
