Initiative!

What do you do when two youngsters

quickly volunteer to sweep up the
eating areas & wipe tables, after
NIGHT OWLS have a snack?

You smile and say, "Thank you."

Sunday Smile!

Mornings in our gym are pretty busy times.

Some pupils "hoop" it up!

Yet when it's the time we head students into

Parkside's cafeteria for breakfast,

there's no shortage of helpers

who get things put away.

We Are Humbled- Thank You!

The cupboard is NOT bare!

Special thanks go out to

the parents who organized a recent
 fund-raising event at the VFW. 
Also we want to recognize Becky Lyles
  & The Modern Woodmen, Lisa Trinkle,
and The Lawrenceville Elks for
helping provide refreshments to children. 

Tutoring on Tuesday and
Thursdays (3:30-4:30 P.M.) began this week.

The NIGHT OWLS are supported totally by

grants or donations.  Without your support along
 with community volunteers who help with tutoring
our participants, the program will end.

Thank you to all who care!

Christmas in September?

What's this?
A red wagon coming down the

hallway, filled with gifts and goodies?

It's kind of like "Christmas."

"Hello Mrs. Walker,
I have something for you"
                              ~Kylee

Thanks to the generosity of our parents and

community members, supplies or special
items on teacher-wish lists were
purchased & delivered.

Thank you to all who were involved!

Run, Run, Run!

Like the shirt says:  

"Parkside Running

Once We Start....We Can't Stop"

This season, Mr. Jennings and
Miss Shuff are there for us on Mondays!

Runners always begin with an all

important time for stretching muscles.

Next our 4th & fifth graders can begin.

Many September runs have been hot!

Mrs. Gray is there to

log individual laps for participants.

Setting and achieving goals!

Mr. Mikeworth urges giving

a "determined look," as we

wrapped up the latest session.

Friday Fun

We recommend playing with puppets.

They are so much fun, trust us on that!

Sometimes we change our voices

and talk in a different way.

It makes people happy!

We also recommend loving books.

You can never read too many stories.

Creativity involves building. 

Trust us on that one!

Garden Makeover Has Begun

As "Father Time" marches on and our 

Butterfly Garden is undergoing a change.

To begin- lots of weeding.
Did we mention that the Lawrenceville
Elks Lodge donated two truckloads of mulch"
https://www.elks.org/lodges/ContactUs.cfm?LodgeNumber=1208

Trimming and removing invasive species

will improve the look and feel of our space!

Our volunteers were responsible

for an amazing "face-lift" over the area.
Did we mention Ace Hardware donated
Round-Up and Preen for use on the project?

"Team work makes the dream work."

Where would we be without our volunteers?

So many were involved:

Garth Whewell, Christy Whewell, Leann Williamson, Eric Irvin, Cindy Jones, Michael Briner, Oliver Large, Johnna Large, Scott Colvin, Jonee Colvin & Riley Colvin, Laura Zehner, Boots Zehner, Pam Preston,
and Greg Wood.
