Let's Change the World!

"The beautiful thing about learning

is that no one can take it away from you."

~B. B. King

 

Teamwork's one of the best things you can be a part of!

Taking on the responsibility to keep

your classroom inviting is an excellent move.

Sharing ideas and materials

during lessons is how we all make progress.

Filled With Promise

"Every September is like Christmas,

so each and every student, 

is a surprise gift to open." 
~Mary Bicouvaris

We want good things for all children

so we proudly speak up!

Welcome to "Four For Forty"

 

Parkside's open and ready for business.

Breakfast was ready for those on the go...

New teachers and friends are mighty fine.

Big smiles for the start of our brand new year!

Delightful Moments

 

Mrs. Hayes called all of us to gather in the gym.

News?  An announcement of some kind...we wondered.

Then a woman appeared, looking for Mrs. Gray.

(We think Principal Hayes was keeping a secret!)

Our Kristi Gray was named
a 2026 Golden Apple educator!

WTHI-TV News Director Susan Dinkel 

made the surprise announcement.

There was no keeping Mrs. Gray's class in their seats.

Being a part of this history is pretty exciting.

Congratulations!

Enjoy the moments on a special day:

It's Our Way

The Artemis ll mission successfully accomplished the 1st
lunar flyby in over 50 years, returning to Earth on April 10th.

Mrs. Gray's 2nd graders have

been preparing for a rocket launch.

Gather materials, measuring, and
designing is all part of the process.

Partners check with each other,
if needed, as they assemble their crafts.

It's all systems "go" for them to finish
and be ready for blast-off on Friday, April 17th.

Good Luck!

Grand News from School
