From the Principal Desk—
Hello Hilltopper Families!
I hope this message finds you well and filled with curiosity about how the first two days of school went for your wonderful children. We are thrilled to share that it was a fantastic start to the school year at Park Elementary!
From the moment our students walked through the auditorium doors, the energy in the air was palpable. The school was alive with the buzz of excitement and the joy of reconnecting with friends and teachers after the summer break. It was truly heartwarming to witness the smiles and laughter that filled our hallways and classrooms.
Our students transitioned into their new routines with ease. Teachers welcomed them into their thoughtfully prepared classrooms decorated with stars and planets to highlight this year’s school theme, Reach for the Stars. Students also attended a Welcome Back to School assembly where they were introduced to Park staff members and had an opportunity to hear from Mrs. Barnett about Topper Tickets and how TOGETHER, HILLTOPPERS CLIMB TO THE TOP! Be sure to ask your student how they can earn Topper Tickets.
Throughout the days, students participated in engaging activities designed to help them get to know each other better and set a positive tone for the rest of the year. It was fun to observe them take an active role in helping to organize their classrooms and their personal materials. One of the highlights of my days has been visiting our students in the cafe and on the playground, watching them make new friends and reconnect with previous classmates.
As we move forward into the school year, our students can look forward to a wide range of educational adventures, creative projects, and collaborative activities. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in us to educate and nurture your children. As partners in your child's education, we encourage open communication. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year. I want to extend my gratitude to all of you for your support in making the first two days of school a huge success.I am excited to work with you to make this school year an unforgettable and enriching experience for our students.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee
We are off to a great start!
