Message from Mrs. Harp
Mensaje de la Sra. Harp
Panther families,
I am sure we are all ready for Fall Break. I hope you are planning some fun, or some relaxation, or both!
Please remember to use the parking lot parking spaces appropriately. The handicap parking spots require a parking placard for use, and the staff spots require a staff pass. Thank you for respecting the needs of those who utilize those spots.
Today, students are being rewarded for their participation in Jog-a-thon with raffle prizes! All students were eligible to win a prize. 126 prizes will be given away! There are also prizes for our top earners, top earning classes, top runners and best Sportsmanship this week! Everyone will be getting popsicles on Friday! Thank you to our incredible PTA for all this coordination!
Reminder that our Lost and Found will all be donated over break, so come check it out before Friday!
What are you leaning into this week?
Mrs. Harp
β Principal Harp's Question of the Week β
β La pregunta de la semana del director Harp β
Each week, I will be sending out a question with which you will be given the opportunity to engage in a new conversation with your child. We all know how hard it is to draw out responses other than, "nothing" or "fine" when we ask "What did you do today?" or "How was school?" Be sure to use open ended follow-up questions and statements such as "Tell me more about that!" or "What did you think of that?" Please ask your student(s) the question below, share their response with us and make our day! You can submit more than one response!
(No need to put names or identifying words.)
This week's question:
Tell me about a time when something hard happened at school and an adult helped you.
Last week's answers:

When you grab a yearbook or some logowear, you get a discount*, so it pretty much pays for itself. You don't even have to be super involved to be a part of it - you can contribute as much or as little as you want. When you grab a PTA membership for your #PennPanther they will get to participate in awesome lunchtime student meetings where they can vote on important decisions that will impact their year, and you'll have access to all the juicy parts of the PTA website. Donβt forget that memberships are available for all family members- grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Letβs unleash our Panther pride!

Reading Kit Request
We're so excited to introduce Penngrove Reading Kits this year. This is a fun way to bring new books home to read as a family, support a struggling reader, encourage a love of reading, or just for FUN! If you're curious which kit would be best for your reader, don't hesitate to reach out to their classroom teacher.
Detailed description of these kits are here. Otherwise, feel free to browse the kits in the office or reach out to Mrs. M with any questions at amiljkovic@petk12.org. There are multiple kits at most levels with different titles to keep things interesting :)
Families can check out 2 kits per student at a time and return in 2 weeks.
