Lab Partners

Did you know our students help care of the
computers and equipment in the Chrome

Lab?  Last Friday we spied 5th graders
checking headphones and shutting

down computers.

#TakingCareOfBusiness

Cause for Celebration!

Finding a one hundred dollar bill?

Solving one hundred tricky puzzles?

Master counting from one to one hundred?

Better than all those things, Parkside

celebrated the 100th day of our school year!

#LotsOfFun

Every minute matters,

every youngster matters,

every bit of imagination matters!

"The secret of genius is to carry the spirit

of the child into old age, which means

never losing your enthusiasm."  

                                                             ~Aldous Huxley

What's not to love?

#HappyOneHundredDays

So very blessed are we!

Attendance Challenge

"My kids are having fun and

they earned it.....makes me happy!"

Moving....grooving.

The gym all to ourselves!  

#FunTimes

Thinking "Win-Win," yes indeed.

Congratulations fourth graders.
Together you've met a
Parkside "Attendance Challenge!"
#WellDone

Learn from One Another

Opportunities to establish qualities like patience, determination & work ethic

are daily happenings if we seek them.

No matter your age, 

"excellence" is yours to develop!

Thank you to those who mirror those habits.

5Essentials School Survey

We're asking parents

 to offer input that will help

us improve our school community.

Thanks in advance!

New Arrivals

An envelope, a small box, and

one very heavy carton arrive at school.

The return address:  Donors Choose!

https://www.donorschoose.org/ 

Just what we want for
 our book cart, brand new stories!

You know, the surprise or fantastic

feeling you get when discovering

new things you can read all by yourself? 

Chapter books, picture books, a DVD.

It is a regular treasure trove of goodies.

"Bless those people for believing
in us and paying for these," said one boy.

Yes, we couldn't have said it better!
This school year, many Parkside
children have benefitted from
generous individuals and
"gifts" to our school. 

#ThankYou

Friday Flashback

As 1st semester ended, we celebrated

the accomplishments of those who are

 weaving the habits into their daily lives.

Choosing to "Be Proactive"

I am a responsible person.

I am in charge.

I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods.

"Beginning with The End in Mind"

I plan ahead and set goals.

I do things that have meaning and make a  difference.

I'm an important part of my class & the school community.

"Putting First Things First"

I spend my time on things that are the most important.

I say "no" to things I know I should not do.

I am disciplined and organized.

Thank you for supporting each

and every effort youth make across

our school community, to learn and grow.
