Welcome

Thank you for visiting the SPES Dad's Club web site. Our Club was formed in 2009 with a simple mantra - let's provide dads an avenue to participate in their children's education. The Dad's Club focuses on developing one large infrastructure project on a yearly basis.

Last year we completed Phase I of the outdoor interactive classroom. Phase I included two outdoor classrooms, an interactive garden for the children and eight different gardens located within an integrated walking path. This year we plan to complete Phase II which will include completion of the picnic / shade area along with the installation of a gazebo at the north end of the courtyard.

We welcome you to explore the site and Contact Us with questions.

A note from the Principal

Thank you to our Dads' Club. Because of their efforts, the Shiloh Point Elementary grounds will be enhanced greatly. This labor of love will improve our school landscape and provide a warm and welcoming courtyard for everyone to enjoy. We envision and look forward to the creation of a space that will heighten environmental awareness, attract wildlife, and provide an inviting location for students, teachers, parents and friends to participate in learning experiences, enjoy organized games, and have the opportunity to play and socialize. We invite all of our Shiloh Point Dads to join the Dads' Club beautification project. The Shiloh Point community will enjoy an inviting green space filled with plants, trees, and structures for years to come, thanks to our Dads!

Current Project

For this school year, 2010 - 2011, we plan to commence work on the second and final phase of the outdoor interactive classroom. Essentially, Phase II will focus on completing all the work remaining on the north side of the courtyard. This work includes completing the picnic / shade area adjacent to the Sensory Garden and installing a large gazebo on the northwest side of the grassy area. The gazebo is the finishing piece to outdoor classroom #1.
