Friday Night Party!
Wow! Once again, our amazing PTO put together a free event full of fun and laughter. The Ross PTO Luau was a huge success, and everyone had an absolute blast. It brought us pure joy to see our Ross leaders coming together and cheering one another on. Ross truly is a special place, and Mr. Bryant and I are lucky to lead such an amazing school and commUNITY. We would also like to thank our amazing staff who either worked behind the scenes setting up/taking down or just simply joined in on the fun. Please check our Ross Facebook page for pictures! Next up... 5th grade Pancake Breakfast on Saturday.

5th Grade Families Only (REPEAT)
In Parkway, we're fortunate to partner with Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri, who offers the Student Wellness Program for students in grades 5 - 12. This is an optional, free program, but it is a great opportunity to get a "mental health check-up" for your child, just like we visit the pediatrician to get a physical health check-up. If you are interested in this program for your 5th grade child, please see this link for more information and to register: Student Wellness Program Letter. Please note that at this time, this program is only offered for 5th graders. If you have any questions, please reach out to our 5th grade counselor, Lisa Bayer, via phone or email: 314-415-6708, lbayer1@parkwayschools.net
