Just Look Up!

"We say yes to
respecting classmates,

learning and growing stronger,

sharing knowledge with others,

setting and achieving goals,
seeking help from wise individuals,

and never giving up."

We say yes-- to a future we're shaping!

This beautiful, original artwork is from our fifth graders.  They're headed to a new chapter of their education upon graduation, in May.

Creative Literacy classes are in the midst of
creating 50 new tiles to be installed across the school, according to Mrs. Cheryl Felty.

Thank you for these beautiful inspirations
 to adorn our hallways and classrooms.

The Moment

Third grade read "Sarah Plain and
 Tall" recently, and then viewed the movie version.

The movie moment when Jacob sweeps

Sarah into an embrace and kisses her.

Our Future

Why not encourage kids to begin noticing things, asking
 questions, and seeking answers?  

We hope they'll set goals too.

Helping them along their way.......

instills independence and pride!

Encourage creativity........

and try "testing" ideas.


Lots of great conversations!

They built a few mountains,
and then discovered mudslides too. 

 Learning about different landforms, we think students will be building some
of their own volcanoes this spring.
It was all in good fun!

Honoring Others

Today we welcomed the opportunity to

support those who deal with arthritis.  

They're our friends and classmates!

We Are Parkside

It's all about the smiles.....

understanding......

compassion and kindness too.  

We chose to wear green and

send the message that "we care!"  

We Are Parkside

It's All "Adding Up"

We're collecting change, here at school.

Believe us when we say

there has been a lot of participants too!

This fundraising effort will

go towards supporting field trips.

BIG thanks to each and every
student & family that's helping!

Best Days in the Lab

"Our task, regarding creativity, is to help
 children climb their own mountains,
as high as possible. 
No one can do more."

Keep Learning Science!

At Parkside, lots of questions
 means looking for MORE answers......

....especially when building

our own model of the water cycle.

We identified four different phases!

We'll keep observing.

"A moment of science, please."
