The Parsons Happenings
eNewsletter September 27, 2019
A Message from Proud Principal, Laura Clark
Get your walking shoes out...Wednesday, October 2nd is Walk to School Day. I would love to see the entire front lawn of our school filled with parents and students who have walked to school (see flyer below for more information). Hope you can join us for a front lawn celebration!
I'm sure the cameras will be clicking on Friday when students who raised $500 or more get to throw a pie in the face of 'lucky' staff members. I'm just hoping that it's chocolate pie-YUM! I still can't believe our students raised over $30,000 for our school. What a great example of our Parsons' PRIDE. We have such an amazing community and I come to school each day with a heart for serving.
Have a great weekend making special memories with your family.
