Our Parker answered a challenge from Mrs.
 Felty during Creative Literacy classes
by designing artwork to say:
"Red lights mean STOP!"

How proud we are for all who created
posters for an annual contest
sponsored by our Secretary

Give Us

Give us a blue sky

and friends to stand by.

Give us colors of fall

with joy and laughter for all.

Give us a day at the pumpkin

patch; for us it's the perfect match!

Someone Cared to Help

Open a book with a friend?

Magic can and does happen

when you discover that reading and

understanding each page in that story
occured because someone cared to help you.

Handwriting of the Heart

Here's a "Golden" rule....write legibly!

Without a doubt, the perfect practice session.

A lesson with "enchanted" cursive.

We know you are smiling too, right?

Together

"Will you help her figure out
one way to answer this problem?" 

"Yes," replied the child......to the teacher.

"We will do it together."

Sidewalk Messages

Take just a few minutes before the

tutoring sessions begin, after snacks....

Add a box full of sidewalk chalk,

"throw in"some beautiful sunshine,

along with curious, talented NIGHT OWLS.

The possibilities are endless

and they inspire the best intentions

we have for every child in our community!

We Are Parkside

"Salute!"

Jake sets goals and
follows through to reach them.

Lane is prepared....yes, at all times.

Kaelynn wisely thinks about
situations before speaking or acting.

Kaitlyn's aware that our choices will

be a part of our future, so she plans ahead.

You can always count on Paisley

to find ways to be a good citizen.

Celebrating kids who truly

"begin with the end in mind!"

Thanks Gentlemen!

right people there to support you."

This faithful crew turns on the light at the

west entrance of school.....every morning.

It's a little gesture but it makes coming

into our builder much safer!

Your P.T.O. "Support"

Did you know that when the

Parkside Parent-Teacher Organization meets,

there's always an offering of FREE child care? 

After all, parents, grandparents, and guardians are very busy people.  Of this fact, we in our school community ALL understand!

During P.T.O meetings, safe & friendly activities are provided for youngsters
 of all ages.....no worries. 

P.T.O. provides funds for field trips.
They purchase supplies.

Members create a "birthday cup" for
every student as a surprise.

Did you realize they pay for
 transporting kids safely home from our NIGHT OWL after-school,
when such help is needed?

#VitalSupport

The next P.T.O. meeting will be

on Tuesday December 3rd

at 5:30 P.M. in our Community Room.

Spread the word,

join us and bring friends!
Their efforts make an important difference
for each and every child in our school.

#ThankYou

Did you realize that we have children

that help their classmates

read each morning, 

before class?
