Experiences That Matter for Children

  #4for40 *Message Number 15

 We know that play is critical for nurturing learning, positive
relationships with others, and overall well-being for boys and girls.

Why not build?  It's a creative and fun way to discover patterns.

One never knows how high or wide buildings will be.

Artists shall find out where their imaginations can take them.

Fostering self-expression is vital for all pupils in our school.

School Day Happenings

 

 #4for40 *Message Number 14

 Summertime is headed toward autumn and we're
thinking, "Bring on the cooler temperatures and vivid colors!

Business as usual, most days begin with lessons or tasks.

At one time or another, friends often head outside for recess.
Mrs. Trinkle is always on the go & caring for us during every meal!
Thanks to ever-present volunteers who organize clean-up in our cafeteria.

Sunday Smile!

   #4for40 
 Message Number 11

You may not have heard about some wonderful people from near and
far, who helped us "Stuff the Bus" before the school year started.
It was an amazing outpouring of support for our boys and girls.
A "shout out" to the folks at WALMART for a spot to gather donations. 
Shoppers enabled us to provide school supplies for Parkside children.
Teachers provided lists for different grade levels & specific needs.
It was grand to see familiar faces from the community.

(We can't stop at just 4 pictures)
It was a Sunday afternoon we'll never forget!
Young and old alike were willing to help.
Some donations came from folks we didn't even know.
Honoring children can enable their dreams to be within reach!
Passion & purpose go "hand-in-hand" for our staff and learners.

 School days start & end with gathering alongside friends or helpers.

Thanks Mr. Williams...breakfast is served.
Your bestie, BFF, chum, comrade, or amigo- other words for friend!
A friend believes in you and are always willing to help.
When you feel challenged, turn to others for their input or guidance.

Greeting & collaborating with parents is so important.
Grateful are we for feeling pride in a "job well done."
