Hey, hey Mustangs!
A BIG shout out to Dan Sullivan for putting together an AMAZING Veteran's Day Assembly! Our students had so much pride sharing their talents with our campus and our community. A special thanks to Lisa Sitzes for the beautiful patriotic decorations!
Lauren Molenaar has done a beautiful job of creating a Thankful For...bulletin board in the entrance to the 2-5 neighborhood! If you have a chance, stop by to share what you're thankful for!
Please make sure to let parents know about our Thanksgiving Feast during regularly scheduled lunches! We will have additional seating in the gym for overflow. Please let parents know to expect high traffic and limited parking! Get here early!
Our PTA is hosting Soup for the Soul on Wednesday and the Food Truck will be here Thursday!
Please note, the Leadership Team meeting has been cancelled for Wednesday due to a scheduling conflict.
Don't forget to share our story with the world by using #TheGreatestParkside and #1LISD on Twitter! You can also tag our campus @Parkside_ES. Your PLN (Professional Learning Network) wants to learn from you! Y'all have so many great things to share! Enter your Twitter Handle here so we can follow you!
Thank you for all you do!

Generation Texas Week!
Next week is Generation Texas week! This is a time to promote awareness of different colleges and careers to our students. We will have several fun activities going on!
College Fight Song Contest-
Everyday during this week we will have a different college fight song play during the intro to the Parkside News. The first staff member to tweet the name of the college with the #thegreatestparkside will win a prize!
Flip Grid Career Videos-
We are inviting parents to share a quick video on Flip Grid of their careers, this is a way that students can see what it is like at different jobs. You can post a video, too! Or, if you know someone who has an interesting career please invite them to post a video. Below is a link to the flyer, please send it out to your parents and take some time with your class to watch some of the videos. Let me know if you have any questions.
