"Grab Your Partner!"

 

The editing process is challenging for young writers.  A second set
 of eyes, conversation, and encouragement can make a positive difference.

Matching a 5th grader with a Kindergartener

to help create some original artwork..."works well!" 

Indeed, together is better! 

The great thing about having partners is

that everyone's invited to make their contribution!

So, look to others for ideas and then ask questions

because being "open" to new insights keeps learning fun. 

Pupils with that kind of "spirit" have positive energy.

Learners who dream & set goals for themselves
 can be an inspiration...but often they don't even realize it!

     

Partnerships benefit us in so many ways.

Few can resist an evening of fun at this annual event!

  Guests were invited to "Camp Out with a Good Book." 

Activities and fun at every turn....

Hearing music, lots of kids headed to the "Book Walk." 

Who doesn't love having the chance to win a new book"

There were games to play, with

help from pupils on the Student Lighthouse Team.

Some folks decided to get a photo, before heading home.

Feeling "crafty?"  We had you covered...

Honoring Our Veterans

 

First, there was a dress rehearsal for a Parkside staff & student audience.

We were captivated by the program our 4th graders presented!

The entrance to the school was filled with flags that November afternoon.

Guests were to discover a "Wall of Celebration," for beloved veterans.

Thanks to Mrs. Amy Ryan and her students for helping create the display.

A memorable sight to behold, filled with many lives and stories.

As well, "A White Table," to honor those veterans that are loved and missed.

The stage was set for our talented fourth graders to serenade invited guests.

And sing the children did, voices lifted in beautiful harmony. 

Storytelling too...of lands far away, and families missing their soldier or sailor.

A wonderful afternoon thanks to the children, Mrs. Mendenhall,

and our janitors who prepared the gymnasium for the performance.

Beautiful artwork adorned our hallway and each veteran was presented with gifts.
