Staff Goody Day (4th and 5th Grade Parents)
Staff Goody Day is hosted by a different grade level each month and is a great way to show Parsons ES teachers and staff how much we appreciate them! Friday, September 20th, 4th and 5th grade parents are invited to send in sweet and savory treats for teachers and staff to enjoy throughout the day. While sweet treats (like donuts, muffins, cookies, chocolates & brownies) and savory snacks (like bagels, chips, popcorn, and cheese & crackers) are always appreciated, the staff is also grateful for healthy options (like protein bars, hummus & pita chips, almonds, fruit, veggies & dip). PTA volunteers will be at the front of the school and at the car pool drop-off lane to collect the goodies that morning.
