all who are loved.

The Good Stuff

Nothing says "happy," like
visitors to your very own classroom.
Third graders, guests, and lots of smiles.
Did you hear about a "Grand Persons" day?
Not sure if some are known as
Oma 
which is German, or Grammie.
Others may be Grandpa or Papa!
There were many, many interviews 
discovering what we all have in common.
Giggling, lots of giggling!
We sensed a lot of pride was showing.
Important people in the lives
of our children create loving bonds.
Sharing special moments like this 
and looks such as these
made for an unforgettable morning!
Mr. Holtz welcomed one and all.
Smiles, in every corner of the classroom.
Mothers, grandmothers
great-grandmothers, delightful!
"Top 10 Reasons," loving a Grandma!
A day kids and guests shall never forget.
Did we mention the refreshments?
Did we mention the hugs?
Thank you for joining us.

Welcome Aboard


On the agenda Thursday morning:
greeting a new pupil & giving him a
tour, 
pointing out classrooms and
answering any questions he may have.
Did the "Welcome Wagon" explain
that our school is a great place to be?

Hooray!

Some kind of celebration, right?
Teachers sharing success stories about kids?
Fifth graders all up and down the hallway?
Shy smiles, among friends and classmates?
Yes, we recognized their efforts!
We inspired one another today.
Congratulations for choosing to make 
reading good books an important goal!

We Choose Our Actions and Moods


Labor Day has passed and we're
back together again, ready for September!
"Be Proactive" is our habit this month.
That means recognizing that you're in charge.
You choose your actions, attitudes, and moods.
You take the initiative to do the right thing
even if no one is looking.
You do the right thing without being asked. 

We are responsible.

One of the Ways.......

At Parkside we believe "play" is
one of 
the brain's favorite way of learning.
Mr. Williams makes sure kids are learning the finer points of playing "Four Square."

Why?
Physical activity is so beneficial.
It promotes creativity, healthy emotions,
engagement with others,
and vigorous brain development.
It's fun!

September 1st's "Sunday Smile"

This is a unique group!
They are curious, fun loving, and kind.
They're hard working and support each other.
By the way, these kids are
serious 
"Duck-Duck-Goose" players!
