October Curriculum Connections
Check out the linked Curriculum Connections below to see what our Timberwolves will be working on in each subject area during the month of October! We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you are familiar with what topics and content are taught this month! Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!
Reflections Arts Program
We want to encourage your Timberwolf to unleash his or her inner artist through PTA’s Reflections Arts Program! This year’s theme “I Matter Because…” calls for your child’s own unique interpretation through the arts. This is your child’s chance to express him or herself through one of six categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, or Visual Arts. Click here to watch the Promotion Video. Entries are due to your child’s classroom teacher or the front office by Thursday, November 5th.
The flyer and Reflections packet are attached. There will also be a paper form in your child’s backpack. Online students can fill this out and submit online or stop by the office for a paper packet. Should you choose to fill it out online, save it and send it to: hobana@parkhill.k12.mo.us.
- Any student (Kindergarten-5th grade) is eligible to participate.
- Participants in this year’s program will receive a treat from the Park Hill Nutrition Services courtesy of our PTA following the submission deadline.
- In addition, winners will receive awards and recognition. 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners will advance to the Missouri State PTA Reflections Program. If chosen for 1st place in the Missouri State PTA then those winners will move on to the National PTA Reflections Program where additional prizes and awards are given.

If you have any questions or need any help, please contact TR Social Worker, Gayle Laney @ 816-359-5747 or erikson-laneyg@parkhill.k12.mo.us

Park Hill Clothing Center
The Park Hill Clothing Center would like to thank all of the families who have contributed to our facility. For anyone not familiar with the clothing center there is more information here: https://www.parkhill.k12.mo.us/parent_resources/pta_clothing_center
There have been some changes due to Covid-19. The biggest change is that we must limit the number of people in the building. Therefore if you need to “shop” (the clothes are free) please sign up for a time slot using the link above. Volunteers are greatly needed! We have been fortunate to have received numerous donations, however we’ve had a difficult time hanging up all of the incoming clothes with very few volunteers. If anyone has 1-2 hours to contribute we would greatly appreciate it. The above link also has a link for volunteers. New dates are periodically added so keep checking back.
Thank you for all of your help! -The Park Hill Clothing Center
Community Breakfast

Anyone can nominate an employee for this award by using the form below. It asks you to share how your nominee demonstrates our district values of continuous improvement, high expectations, integrity, visionary leadership and student focus.
