Parkside Kinder Mover and Shakers Club
Calling All Kindergartners - This year Kindergarten will be starting The Parkside Mover and Shakers club! They will learn songs and simple dance moves showing all the things they’ve learned in kindergarten this year. It will be adorable and most importantly: We will have fun doing it!
If your child is interested, plan to attend the mandatory parent meeting on Thursday, February 13, at 6pm, in the library. More information will be given then. We can’t wait to move and shake with our Kindergartners!
