Principal Message
Hello Park Family,
We have entered the year of 2024. I find great joy in the possibilities that a new year hold. I enjoy setting goals and successfully achieving them. I know that all the faculty and staff are ready for the students to return after the break, as we prepare to work hard and make strides towards out individual and school goals. I want to thank all you parents in all your support and look forward to keep working with all of you.
Please reach out if I can help in any way.
Mrs. Lindley

Counselor Corner
January 2024
Mrs. J has been teaching students and teachers about the Three Gifts and how they are all easy ways to move from your Downstairs Brain to your Upstairs Brain. Students learned about the Gifts of:
Gratitude- the simple act of naming things you are grateful for is a great way to emotionally regulate. Some people like to keep gratitude journals or use the 5 senses to think of things they are grateful for.
Giving- giving time, writing a thank you note or saying thank you, giving compliments, giving all-in attention, acts of service or even a smile are all things we can give that don't cost any money.
Grace- Mrs. J. defines grace as giving yourself compassion and forgiveness. Some people like to add in a "grace affirmation" as part of their tapping sequence, like "I love being me!" or "It's ok that I am not always the best version of myself, I am learning and growing" or my favorite from Audre Lorde "we are all in the process of becoming."
