SLE Fundraisers

Every year, students participating in a club, team, or organization usually have a fundraiser to raise money for their group or to donate to a charitable cause. All current fundraisers are on the SLE website under the School Links menu.

SLEF Perseverance Award

 The South Lyon Educational Foundation (SLEF) announced that the 2021 Perseverance Award application process is now open. Two $1,000 scholarships to South Lyon seniors will be awarded to one senior from each high school. The Perseverance Awards are made to recognize students who have overcome significant obstacles in their lives or demonstrated dramatic academic improvement throughout their high school careers. There is no G.P.A. requirement, only that eligible students must be accepted and plan to attend an academic, vocational or technical school or program in the fall. 

The scholarship application can be found here.

All electronic submissions must be due to [email protected] by Thursday, April 22nd. The scholarships will be presented to winning seniors at seniors honor nights in June. (If some form of the celebrations cannot be done this year, other arrangements will be made)
