Our Core Essential Value for the month of March is “Forgiveness.”
Big Idea
“Deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn’t have to pay.”
HOW YOU CAN SHOW FORGIVENESS:
- Think about a time that you were forgiven.
- Remember to be slow to anger and choose forgiveness.
- Find examples of forgiveness in books, TV shows, or movies you watch with your family.
The animal for FORGIVENESS is the GECKO – The color is MINT

PTA meetings will be held during the school year. All parents are encouraged to become members of the PTA on our campus and attend meetings and events. The PTA typically provides monetary support such as programs, the winter and spring parties, technology, staff development for teachers, field trips, etc., as well as voluntary time and hours by providing people to assist with multiple school activities.
Please contact our PTA President, Mrs. Christi Henneke at president@austinparkwaypta.org for information regarding any questions or to volunteer for the PTA.
