A Message from the Principal
Lauren Meeks
November 30, 2018
Happy Friday!
Well, this is a bitter-sweet Weekly Message for me. Today marks my last day before beginning my maternity leave. I am excited to spend time with our newest baby boy, Cannon, but I can't tell you how much I am going to miss being at Parkside with your children every day.
I always tell people how blessed I feel to have a career I love. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would be here the next day, ready to go with a huge smile on my face. I don't come to work each day because I have to, I come because I truly love what I do. Loving what I do has everything to do with the community I serve. The love and kindness I have felt since coming to this school has been incredible, and for that I thank you.
While I will be gone, please know that I will be thinking of you all. I know the students will be in good hands with Mr. Haug, Mrs. Norman, Mrs. Jistel, and Mrs. Harman. I am so appreciative to you all for the encouragement and support as I begin my maternity leave.
Warmest regards,
Lauren Meeks
