2021 D.A.R.E.Graduation
Parkway 5th graders recently graduated from D.A.R.E.
The D.A.R.E. program envisions a world in which students everywhere are empowered to respect others and to lead lives free from violence, substance use, and other dangerous behaviors. Thank you to Officer Andrew Smith, Mrs. Pettit, Mrs. Russ, and Ms. Dancy for providing our 68 5th graders with this amazing opportunity! We are Parkway Proud!!

Come Back Shack Night: Thursday, Dec. 16
Third Thursdays have been delicious, because Parkway School Fundraising Night at our favorite local restaurant, Come Back Shack, is the BEST NIGHT OF THE MONTH! This coming Thursday, Dec. 16, 25% of all sales from 10:30 am - 9:00 pm will go to Parkway School, as long as you mention Parkway School when you order! It’s part of Come Back’s commitment to supporting the community that supports them, but Parkway School is the real winner! Plus, everyone loves a night off from cooking/kitchen duty! Tell your friends and family members to eat at Come Back Shack; the more folks who eat, the more money we earn!
ps - Carry out and drive through work, too! There are also lots of outdoor seating options and open-air patio (WITH HEATERS) seating options. AND, the drive through may LOOK long, but it’s FAST!
