 "Exercise not only changes your body, it
changes your mind, your attitude,
 and your mood."

Bright & cool fall weather has

It's About Who You "Lift Up"

Pupils can be great "study buddies."

Sometimes they quiz one
another for weekly spelling tests.

When we seek to discover
the best in others, we somehow
 bring out the best in ourselves.  

 

 

Was Your Monday This Magical?

 No matter your age, a note from

mom or dad in your lunchbox is the best.

Having cafeteria duty at
 Parkside truly has its advantages!

Leave it to a story in our 5th grade reading

series to inspire an election for class president.

With assistance from capable campaign managers,
each candidate prepared talking points for the debate.

               Filled with proactive plans to improve things

Musicians gather in our
 Community Room for their sessions.

Music brings people together
and we know that's a beautiful thing!

It's the People & Families

 You're in grand company when during the walk into the building you utter, "good morning"

 to some students who have also 
just arrived to Parkside.

Then you all notice that beautiful Sasha...
who's patiently waiting for her master

to return to the truck after he walks a

child across the parking lot, to school.

What's not to love?

Your Monday Memory
