November's Mindset was We Are Connected. We started our assembly hearing from Trojan Legend, Riley Reiff. He shared a message for the students about what it means to be a Parkston Trojan and how lucky we are to have the network of Trojans to look out for one another!

The "We are Connected" mindset helps us understand that everyone who comes into our lives can assist us in living our dreams. Through this mindset, we learn to constantly explore synergies with others, embrace diversity, and relish competition, allowing us to maximize our potential with and through others.

Another month down and less than two weeks until Winter break! November was a blur.

As I reflect on the month, there's so much to be Thankful for. We are blessed at Parkston to have a wonderful staff, incredible students, and a community that supports us through thick and thin.

Below you will see a few photos recapping some fun events from the month. This is a small snapshot into the hundreds of amazing things that happen each month. I wish I had pictures of everything that happens, but I often forget to capture the moment with a photo. I hope you enjoy what you see below, but as we go into the new year. I'll work to make sure I get a few photos from each grade level.

Everyone is working hard and collaborating together. AMAZING things happen here on a daily basis! A few highlights were the Veteran's Day Celebration, our Penny War, and our fiftieth day of school. The Penny War helped us connect to the Wagner Family and the money earned will be used to create a scholarship in Easton Wagner's name.

It won't be long until the winter break begins. Snow will be coming as will the colder temperatures. If you're missing any winter gear, make sure to check the lost and found. We have LOTS of gear that is piled up on the counter outside of the office. I'd love to get that space cleaned off before we leave for break.

That's all for now. Thanks for all you do to support our students and staff! We are blessed to live in this wonderful community. GO TROJANS!!
