Join Us at a Parkside Tradition!

 
WAKO Radio professional Mr. Arvin Hawkins invited us to
explain details of our "Family Reading Night" celebration.

Kendrick's research of the event, sponsored by the
 State Librarian, 
has been celebrated in Illinois for over 30 years.

Hayden reported that Mrs. Hayes feels the evening will be a
fine way for guests to celebrate a love of books & learning.
She's hosted lots of fun and laughter, for 18 years.

Did you know we have an annual school-wide reading goal
of 30,000 AR points?  Lynnex mentioned Mrs. Hayes and
teachers challenge us to read both at home & in school. 

Aubrey revealed a special, new treat at the event this year.  
Fourth graders researched leaders across history & have recreated their stories for you to enjoy.  Come and hear
how Parkside's 
"Famous Persons Project" comes alive!


"Family Reading Night" is celebrated on
Thursday November 20th from 4:00 - 6:30 P.M.

Fourth graders have been keeping "tabs" on the
pumpkins that Mrs. Ryan's students planted on our campus
 
There's no lack of creativity or fun in our Preschool classes.

When writing, Mrs. Stevenson's Kindergarteners are mastering  
the use of handy little "Spacemen" to include spaces between words.  

We're celebrating "Family Reading Night," (4:00 - 6:30 P.M.) 
on Thursday November 20th.  Save the date and join in on all the fun! 
We're "on-the-way" to achieving our reading goal of 30,000 + AR points.

Mr. Bailey's third graders' writing project is reaching
out to a favorite professional football team or a business.
Ryder had the honor of hearing from The Dallas Cowboy organization.

Come back here to "Shining Moments" as we share Parkside's important
celebration of honor 
and pride for veterans from our
community, both past and present.
