We're proud  to introduce the 

September "Students of the Month:"

Left to Right: Miss Hailey, Mr. Austin, Miss Adalyn,
Mr. Myles, Mr. Bentley & Miss Hayden

Each chooses a path of honesty, curiosity, fairness,
and has an unmistakable "stick-to-it" mindset that works
well in both their school work and play-time with others!

(Notice anything a bit different, just behind these pupils?)

It's not every day you even see a lighthouse...

It was "born" in Mr. Gray's workshop...

Well, unbeknown to so many of us...

It first arrived at Parkside on September 29th...

It stands proudly for all the achievements

in our school family, now and in the future.

Our thanks to Hunter, Jared, and Mr. Kyle Gray.
(Can they keep a secret, or what?)

September Ways

 

Love and support from important family
members is one way to "get the ball rolling" each day.    

By the way, our cooks always make the best meals & treats.

Surprise! 
Running into our canine friend Gabby is always perfect!

Just for the record, we DO like taking silly photographs....

Making new friends here has been a wonderful adventure.

Who knew that learning & practicing
Habit #1 this month, would be such a good thing?

Off and Running

 Hooray, our school year has started!

August kicked-off with families coming to visit.

"Meet  Your Teacher Night" was grand.

Many thanks for folks who were able to attend!

It was an enjoyable, busy evening.

Connecting with families is always a pleasure.

Ah...seeing familiar faces is the best!

Touring rooms to meet our staff is a lot of fun.

We trust that any "butterflies"
kids may have had, were put to rest.

Yes, some pupils revisited their teacher from last year!

Thanks Owen, for helping
students to consider joining the Scouts.

Our 2024 Leadership Day

These helpers welcomed each & every guest.

Indeed, May 3rd was the big day!

Mr. David Courtney, Lawrenceville's Mayor, joined us.

Vincennes Mayor Mr. Joe Yochum was here too.

Things ran smoothly...many thanks to

the members of our Student Lighthouse team!

Guests congratulated our "Habit 7" award winners.

Every wing was filled with lessons, a busy, busy day!

We were proud to share & explain our daily journey
for learning important skills that build leadership potential.

Each class chose to showcase their learning & talents.

When was the last time you attended a book talk?

These guests agreed:  "Readers are Leaders!"

Learning is a bit like crafting...it takes practice.

"Play is the work of children."  ~Jean Piaget

"Play" is a key to developing the skills
of cooperation, creativity, & collaboration.

"Necessity may be the mother of invention, 

but play is certainly the father."  ~Roger Von Oech

There was no lack of enthusiasm on the part of our youth.

Play is indeed, a child's natural form of expression.

Where there are boats, there is cargo, but how much?

These pupils showcased how laptops can aid reading skills. 

Rainy weather "moved" our dance party to the gym.

A whole lot of "shakin" going on! 

Silly, fun times...

We did reach our reading goal of 30,000 AR points! 

Yet the best news of all, from Mrs. Hayes' announcement?  

Results from April's review has awarded
Parkside Elementary as a Lighthouse School!

Can you feel the joy?

Can you imagine the pride?

We celebrate this history with thankfulness!

Our staff has a vision of success for all children.

Thanks to all our guests for coming
and helping us celebrate our 2024 Leadership Day.
