Message from Mrs. Harp
Mensaje de la Sra. Harp
Panther families,
I hope you all had a lovely 3 day weekend and we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday evening for Movie Night!
Our construction is moving right along- we even have a roof on both new buildings!
Parents- when you drop your students off in the morning and walk them onto campus, we'd love to have you join us for morning walk to model getting in some movement, building community and getting our bodies and minds ready for learning!
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:

RSVP to our September PTA Association Meeting!
This meeting will include our post Jog wrap up & tons of exciting news!
September 18th at 7:15 in the multipurpose room.
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.
Are you interested in art?
Do you like children?
Combine the two in a unique volunteer opportunity! The Art Docent Program is looking for volunteer docents to teach art in elementary grade classrooms. Absolutely no art experience is necessary- all you need is a love of art and the desire to bring art into childrenβs lives. Volunteer time is flexible and training time is minimal.
We will be having a few MANDATORY Informational meetings for all interested people:
When: Wednesday, 9/13 @ 9 a.m OR 9/14 @ 9 a.m..
Where: McDowell Elementary (room A2) 421 South McDowell Blvd.
Please enter to the right of the Main Office by mural.
Please contact Alyse Breece, Art Docent Coordinator at abreece@petk12.org or phone 707-778-4958.
