"Blooming Leaders" SEPT. 16-20, 2019

Join us all year for thoughts from youth at Parkside

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."

"I think our school is cool!  Everyone's
really nice at Parkside and all the
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

"I think setting goals and remembering to
try your best is how people can find success
in life.  A goal I'm trying to reach in 

September is reading books to get at
least 15 AR points. I'm real close this
week, with 13 out of 15 total points."

Do you hear the wisdom here, from our fifth graders?

Focused, honest, and determined to manage their

time and accomplish certain goals they set
for themselves.  Wow!
