Leading Wisely

 #4for40 *Message Number 34

Let's decide on important ideas.  Next, go forward to
   do things that make life better for yourself and others.     

It's wise to contribute to conversations with others & learn new things.

Taking part in lessons alongside friends will help us all grow.

It's wise to take an initiative & imagine how you'll achieve meaningful goals.  

Wise, helpful habits can "win the day." 
Begin with the end in mind.

Teamwork Made It Happen

  #4for40 *Message Number 32

The Parkside family on behalf of all our pupils

and staff, was proud to be a part of Homecoming 2025.

BIG thanks to the many 5th graders who created decorations for our float.

Marchers were in safe hands, with Mrs. Hayes & Mr. Gray guiding us along the parade route.

This foursome, "excited & ready," to take part in the fun. 

One for all & all for one!

  #4for40 *Message Number 31

Homecoming each autumn, in

our community, is a celebration for everyone. 

A sight greeting our families on Friday September 26th, before school started.

The L.H.S. football Indians & coach greeted us in a BIG way!

Lots of "SPIRIT" to start the day.

It feels good to do good, with smiles for one-and-all.

We're in Good Company

  #4for40 *Message Number 29

We recognize when students look, feel or

honor important ideas during their learning- it's a great day! 

Here's to understanding all about apples grown in the USA.

Check with friends to discover great books they recommend.

Shared success while mastering "word ladders."

Learning to read truly begins a lifetime of adventure.

We Believe We Can Change the World

 #4for40 *Message Number 28

Thankfully, when students are safe and have opportunities
that build skills or confidence, a whole new world opens up to them.

Proactive learners teach or take lessons taught by fellow classmates. 

The time & patience needed to care for a class pet, a true reward.

Friendship, cooperation & respect all contribute to getting things done.

Heading safely home at days' end, thanks to our Bus Driver Assistants!

Do Your Best Alongside Others

#4for40 *Message Number 27

Relationships both in & out of a classroom matter greatly.

Few people wish to face challenges all by themselves.  

Sisters and brothers often help each other feel stronger.

Make friends & be a friend to ensure the future holds "success."  

Facing challenges alongside others is a powerful feeling.

Adopt a "can do" attitude and always strive to do your best.

#RelationshipsMatter

Opportunities at Every Turn

#4for40 *Message Number 26

Our safe & friendly school is a family of
leaders who respect, serve, and find greatness in
everyone.  We are Parkside; we believe we can change the world.

Our 5th graders know young pupils may need help to find their classrooms.

As well, friends assist one another to locate name badges before breakfast.

Clean trays are essential & thankfully students "lend-a-hand" to our cooks.

Placing signs on tables at meal time helps keep "cafeteria customers" organized!

#ThankYou

Experiences Are Their Lessons

#4for40 *Message Number 25

Proactive boys and girls choose their attitudes and
create rewarding, fun opportunities for themselves and others.

A smile and positive outlook can be an inspiration.

Take on challenges, play, and enjoy those moments.

Why not start dreaming about your future?

Discovering hidden talents is marvelous.

Celebrate That Learning!

#4for40 *Message Number 24

Let's do all kinds of things

to celebrate learning and express ourselves!

Climb high, climb together, climb safely.

Let's study about the wonders of National Parks across the U.S.A.

Why not discover just how apple trees grow and produce fruit!

Thank you first graders, for proudly sharing your projects. 

#WellDone

Lessons Learned

#4for40 *Message Number 23

Thankfully learning opportunities for pupils
are at the heart of each day, in our community.

Facts about a New York firefighters' heroism proved to be important, this week. 

Fourth graders know books carry stories about history & the goodness of people.  

First graders are learning how pollinators help the earth. 

Nurturing the spirit of cooperation & strength are indeed, valuable.

 grand and "play your part" to make that happen.

Encourage others to build their talents.
