A Message from the Principal
Lauren Meeks, Maggie Jistel, & Erin Uhlaender
Mustang Pride!
Happy Friday!
We have had an amazing week full of learning! Our entire staff attended the district's annual Continuous Improvement Conference on Monday and Tuesday and returned to campus with renewed passion to serve our students!
We are looking forward to implementing all that we learned moving forward this year!
Thank you so much to the AMAZING Parkside PTA for giving our front office area a "face lift"! Our vision was to have the front office resemble a living room, warm, inviting, and accessible to all. A special shout out to Jennifer Natour for having a decorator's eye and the creativity to make our vision come to life! It's BEAUTIFUL!
Also, the PTA funded a special project to recognize all the different countries that make up our school! We have a beautiful display of country flags hanging in our cafeteria! It looks great and the kids have really enjoyed guessing which country each flag represents and sharing stories with each other at lunch!
If you weren't aware, all the funds raised by the PTA go directly back to the campus. The PTA helps teachers purchase instructional materials, items for their classrooms, books, funds field trips for ALL students, organizes family events, and spoil our teachers with staff appreciation events throughout the year, just to name a few! The PTA could not do all of these amazing things for our campus without YOUR support...so, THANK YOU for your support and love for Parkside Elementary!
We hope you all have a great weekend!
Lauren, Maggie, & Erin
