We shared November together

with a kind word, giving thanks,

being open to learning new things, and

always appreciating the goodness in others!

#BestWishes

We recognize former Parkside pupils
 who are now L.H.S. Indians!

Best wishes to coach Bishop, assistant

coach Laughlin, and our Indians 

as The Lawrence County Capital

Classic begins for area teams.

The basketball season officially "kicks off" 

the 42nd year of guiding student athletes,

 for our very own Mr. Randy Bishop.

Happy Thanksgiving

Play, Play, Play

This was the scene in P.E. classes

with Mr. Williams on November 26th,

the final day before Thanksgiving break.

Parachute play begins with a 

firm grasp along the edge of the silk.

The best part is when everyone

lifts the parachute and kids run beneath

a colorful "cloud," as it floats back to the floor.

(we wish you could hear the squeals of delight)

Starting Another Busy Day

How nice to be greeted with a friendly "hello!"

Early Birds take turns counting the number

of boys & girls who are the first to arrive
 to school, from 7:00 to 7:30 A.M.

"How do you like my new hat?  

Mother got it for me so we're ready for Christmas!'  

    A million-dollar smile & attitude to match!

Out and About

Let's "plant" seeds of greatness in our children.

Ah, evidence of that........ just this week!

So many folks joined us at school

for Parkside's 2019 "Family Fun Night."

We hope everyone found inspiration.

   These youngsters inspire us every day.

There were images of Pre-K adventures,

capturing days gone by. 
#TheHuddle

  Great projects to view & enjoy!

We felt blessed to see so many guests.

#OurPrideIsShowing

There were student books to read.....

   lots of happy conversations all night long!

    Many "customers" looked pleased that

     Parkside's book fair was a part of the event.

   Thankfully families braved a rather

    rainy & cold night, to come out and join us.

These "men" were part of the fun.

Student Leadership Team members

helped serve as hosts and ambassadors.

So many examples of writing & artwork!

Our school community is beautiful.

"Promise me you'll always remember you're braver than you believe, and stronger than

you seem, and smarter than you think."

Fulfilling the potential of
children at Parkside is essential.

Supporting families is an honor.

We have some pretty amazing kids.

An interpretation of
Lawrenceville, Illinois from the book 

   It's great seeing former pupils who
    "come back" to visit alongside brothers......

      .....and no one could resist the chance
       to "chat" with a teacher they had last year!

The future looks amazing!

Student art and writing are 
both too important not to share.

   We love the enthusiasm of our children.

       Supporting children is life's true calling.

       Let's root for kids and watch them grow!

Special little people and parents,
they both make the world-go-around.

Thank you to all who made 
the evening so special for our school.

One-of-a-Kind

Personal conversations with caring adults

lie as the cornerstone of nurturing children.

Their individual efforts need to be recognized.

Their questions need to be answered.

Hooray for these one-of-a-kind preschoolers!

We Are Excited

"Beginning with the end in mind,"

Miss Blythe knows that habit quite well.

She & Mr. Holtz are helping prepare

for "Family Fun Night," coming Thursday

Spread the word; we'll see you soon!

at Parkside was enough to warrant a nap.
