Talent & Potential
"Wednesday is Creative Literacy Day for my class and I love it. So we are doing lessons
from home...and having fun."

for now...but no one can take away
the talent & potential of our kids.
Stay tuned @ The Reading Room for activities you and yours can enjoy while we're apart.

Join us all year for thoughts from youth at Parkside
This week, a "shout out" to kids doing meaningful things that make a difference.
"I saw my sister had her bike up at the park
but she's in Night Owls. I was afraid her bike might disappear. So I rode mine home,
walked back to the park and brought
her bicycle safely back home."

"At the end of the day we remind others to remember assignments or books for Night
Owls. During tutoring I concentrate on
my homework but also help others who
are working on theirs."

Join us all year for accomplishments from Parkside
This week we added two different videos to our
"home" on YouTube, a special place celebrating
Parkside's young leaders and their accomplishments.
We cannot say enough about the amazing strides
our youth make with teachers, classmates, and friends.
Those efforts make learning at school rewarding,
sometimes a challenge, but always worthwhile!
Please join us all school year.

How's the school year going so far and
what kind of goals have you set for yourself?
"I really like fifth grade; it's been a lot
of fun. I think our fourth graders
will enjoy it too, next year.
A goal I set for myself was to read &
reach at least 15 AR points this month.
I accomplished that with 16 points so far."

teachers are great. My goal was to reach 15
AR points with reading interesting books.
So far so good, I reached 17.8
points just this week." ~Hayden

What makes a friendship so special?
"He's funny and nice to me." ~Josiah
"Josiah's nice to me and everyone else too."
~Braidan
"Landon is so nice. We have been friends
since being together in Pre-K." ~Braxton
"Being with a true friend is so much fun!"
~Landon
"Nevaeh sits with me at lunch." ~Molly
"She makes me smile!" ~Nevaeh
Simple, heartfelt beliefs are perhaps one key
to understanding our children and learning
how to find "joy" in those around us.
