Where:  Parnall Public School

When:  Thursday, September 26th at 1:35PM

Our afternoon will begin with a very short warm-up and assembly in the gymnasium.

PASTA DAY FORMS

On the first day of school, students brought home a Pasta Day form which had an error on it. The cost should have read $4.00 consistently throughout the form. There was an oversight at the bottom of the form which indicated $3.00. If your child is wanting to participate in our Pasta Day lunch on September 25th, please send in $4.00 with the completed form.  If you have already completed the form and sent it back to school with $3.00, please send in an additional dollar to cover the cost of the meal. Future forms will have the revised $4.00 price moving forward. Thank you.

Farewell, Mrs. Best!

We Will Miss You

This Friday, March 29th, Paula Best will be retiring from her long standing career in Public Education. Mrs. Best has been an instrumental figure in all of our Kindergarten students' lives these past several years. Mrs. Best has taught Kindergarten dance, drama, health and gym for the later years of her career as well as teaching a wide variety of subjects across the curriculum in both the primary, junior and intermediate divisions. Her career has been a long and successful one, much of it having being spent here at Parnall School. We wish Mrs. Best good health and happiness as she finds new opportunities and adventures with which to fill her time. Mrs. Best, we love you and will miss you very much. XO
