A Message from Proud Principal, Laura Clark
What a great week we've had at Parsons! Our students had a lot of fun supporting United Way and we brought in about $800 that goes back to our community. I think 'Duct Taping' the principal was a HUGE success along with "Guess Who the Baby Is". Teachers and staff brought in baby pictures and students had to GUESS who it is. So Much Fun! I love that our students know the importance of serving.
Parsons' Spelling Bee took place on Wednesday in our Media Center. We are so proud of the 10 classroom winners and the runners up. After an intense competition, Kailyn Soh, 5th Grader in Mrs. Davis' classroom, pulled out with the BIG W! Our entire school celebrated her. Be sure to check out the video. Made my heart happy to see the students so excited for their classmate. We have the BEST kiddos! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N_6h8TBY9CdpWm4UiucmpISsxskbrGXO/view
Chik-Fil-A Spirit Night was PACKED OUT! It was great seeing our students and parents fellow shipping with one another. I was reminded how grateful we are to have such wonderful families.
Enjoy the week celebrating with family and friends. We have so much to be thankful for!
Proud to be your Principal,
Mrs. Clark

Principal Clark,
I had a wonderful time yesterday learning about your hard work and teacher’s work.
Also, it was such a joy to be a witness of your beautiful happy children.
Your school is simply excellent!
Thanks for your guidance and I truly appreciate the opportunity.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
