An Event to Remember

There was much preparation across our

  school, for days before "Leadership Night."

Thanks to our teachers, staff & pupils

for taking the necessary steps

to make April 19th so special!

The evening finally arrived

and our tour guides were in place,

 ready to show guests around the building.

Enthusiasm reigned in every turn!

We felt fortunate that so many guests

came to support our young people; thank you! 

Our beloved students were

truly spectacular; we

know you agree!

They represented each step

of becoming successful,

confident & capable

youngsters.

That's what we're all about at Parkside!

Saturday Smile

 We want to give a "shout-out"
to the folks at WAKO Radio for inviting Anaisha & Emma to the station, to remind listeners  about Leadership Night!  

It was their first opportunity to

visit WAKO and do a live broadcast.

Special thanks to Mr. Arvin Hawkins for

helping our students feel welcome.

Yes, giggling was allowed!

Enjoy the moment:

Success Looks Grand on You!

The home, family, the richness of language,
and relationships are all important for kids.  The
presence of books and conversations combine to nurture literate youth.  What occurs in school can make a
vital, positive difference for our youngsters.

Congratulations to Mrs. Gray's 2nd graders
for meeting their AR goal of 1,000 points 
during the school year.  
#1,002 points as of April 9th!

Today they "celebrated" with pizza,
time in the park & a Peanuts movie.

All throughout APRIL we'll
be practicing  Habit #7: 

"We learn in lots of ways, and
in different places.  Balance feels best."

It's Strategy, Right?

"Play is often talked about as if it were a
 relief from serious learning.  But, 
for children, play is serious learning. 
Play is really the work of childhood."

A Springtime FFA Event

It's not every day that we're
invited to Lawrenceville High School,

as special guests of local FFA members.
Welcomed were PreK through 5th graders!

FFA stands for "Future Farmers
 of America." It's an intracurricular
student organization for those interested

 in agriculture and leadership. 

Lucky were we to see familiar faces,

who introduced us to a few "feathered friends."

Members answered questions about their

animals & the care necessary to manage

these creatures, while keeping them healthy.

#OneOfTheFavorites     
That day this friendly
pooch seemed to be "in charge!"

Just how BIG is a tractor?

As visitors throughout the day,
including Mrs. McClure's pupils
discovered.....pretty darn big!
#ThanksForTheInvite

"Leader in Me" Public Victory Celebration

Setting the stage for
introductions, thank you Mr. Jennings!

A packed house @ Parkside, yes, yes!

#ExtraLove from our

very own Parkview Jr. High Cheerleaders!

Recognized....one by one,

preschoolers through fifth graders.

Habit #4 Honorees:  Think Win-Win
"I want everyone to be a success.
I don't have to put others down to get what I want.

When a conflict happens, I look for a third solution.

I believe that we all can win!"

Habit #5 Honorees:
Seek First to Understand, Then Be Understood

"I listen to other people's ideas and feelings.

I try to see things from their viewpoints.

I listen to others without interrupting.

I share my opinions and ideas."

Habit #6 Honorees: Synergize
"I know that everyone is good at something.

Everyone needs to get better at something.

We can all learn something from each other.

Working in groups helps create better ideas
than what one person can do alone."

Lots of smiles & surprises......

Good natured fun as well!

#NurturingYoungLeaders

Congratulations to all our pupils who

come together each day, to learn & grow.

 

Headed to Spring Break

"Wear the jersey of your favorite

major league baseball team," they said.

It was after all, the opening day

of the 2018 MLB season, across the U.S.

And we did.....

Lots of Cardinal & Cubs attire at school.

Smiles all around too.

Indeed, Mrs. Hayes & Mr. Seaney joined in on

the fun.  Whatever people chose to wear

that day, it felt like we were all
on the same team! 
#Hooray
