A Message from the Principal
Lauren Meeks
November 16, 2018
I am so thankful to all the families who made this week so special for us! From Veteran's Day to Kinder Feast to Turkey Trot, people poured into the school and offered helping hands along the way. I feel incredibly thankful to work for a community of dedicated families who are always ready to support our campus. I am equally thankful to work with a stellar staff who takes the time and effort to create these fun, culture building events.
Thank you ALL! On behalf of the Parkside staff, we wish you a week of love, happiness, and relaxation with your loved ones.
Go Mustangs!
Mrs. Meeks
Pajama Drive has been EXTENDED to November 30th!
Our Pajama Drive has been extended to November 30th! On November 30th, Parkside will celebrate "Wear a Pair, Share a Pair" to conclude our drive. On this day, we encourage students and staff to wear a pair of pajamas and also bring a new pair of pajamas to donate! We hope you'll participate! See details below!
Here's a letter from one of our very own Parkside Mustangs...
Hi! I’m Mason, a 1st grader in Ms. Uhlaender’s class. Last year, I partnered with a friend to collect pajamas for children in need. Sometimes kids don’t have warm pajamas to sleep in or are going through some hard stuff, so I wanted them to feel loved.
This year, I thought we, as Mustangs, could serve together to really help some children! I am challenging Parkside Elementary to help collect 800 pairs of new pajamas!
Details:
*Bring new pajamas to school between November 5th-30th. There will be a box in the office.
*Sizes 10, 12, 14 or boys pajamas are needed most, but any new pajamas are appreciated!
Veteran's Day!
