Mustang Pride!
Wow, what an amazing week we have had at Parkside Elementary!
We started our week off with the Veteran's Day Assemblies. It was an honor to serve our Veterans and teach the students about what it means to serve our country. Thank you Veterans! If you did not get a chance to see the beautiful production put on by Mr. Sullivan, make sure to take a look at all the pictures and videos on Twitter! You can find a lot by searching #TheGreatestParkside, @TheRealMrsMeeks, or @Parkside_ES.
Parkside is searching for a Christmas tree for our front office! If you have an old one you'd like to donate, we would LOVE to take it off your hands! Please contact Kandice Ding at kandice.ding@leanderisd.org if you would like to donate a tree to the Parkside Office!
Here is some important information from out PTA!
