November Super Stars

Congratulations to our Super Stars for the month of November. We are so proud of you for your achievements over these first three months of school. You are such amazing little people! Pictured above are Daphne W. and Tavi R. Two students were not present today to receive their awards. They are Elliott C. and Byron A. Our Kindergarten Superstar Award ceremonies will resume in January.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Kleenex, Kleenex, Kleenex

We are accepting donations of boxes of Kleenex for our Kindergarten classroom. The cold and flu season is upon us and we need your help to ensure that we have enough tissue for all of the runny noses and sore throats that require Kleenex. Thanks for caring. We appreciate your donation greatly.

Me-to-We Collection Drive

Over the next several weeks, junior students participating in the Me-to-We Club at Parnall School are going to be collecting money from each classroom to support the building of schools in third world countries. Students and their families are encouraged to bring in their donations marked 'Me-to-We' and place them in the classroom collection bin. Each Wednesday, the money will be picked up by the junior students, counted, and sent to the office. Once the drive is over, the money will be forwarded on to the Me-to-We Organization to be used for buying building materials to be used for school construction. We hope that you and your family will participate in this very worthwhile cause. Thank you in advance.

JOY DAY!

On Monday, December 1st, Parnall School will be celebrating JOY DAY! On that day, our kinders will be decorating, singing, cooking and preparing for the joyous holiday season that is ahead. We are encouraging all of our kindergarten students to wear red or green clothing to help get them into the spirit of things. So arrive on Monday ready to 'spread the joy!'

Our 'Adopt a School' Program Needs Your Help

We are once again participating in the 'Adopt a School' Program. Parnall School has been assigned six families from another school in our Board to assist this Christmas in meeting basic needs, as well as providing Christmas presents for the members of each family. Last year, we undertook this initiative and were able to provide enough food and gifts for our 'adopted' families to impact them in a very positive way.  We made their Christmas! We want to continue this tradition by adopting six new families this Christmas season.

Our classroom (K-1) will be collecting gifts and food items for a mother and her two daughters, 3 years old (size 4) and 9 years old (size 8). Gifts are to be sent to the school unwrapped. Food items, grocery store gift cards, clothing, toys and games would be greatly appreciated. As our families do not always have access to transportation, gift cards to stores in the Fairview Mall or the Grantham Plaza are recommended. We are wanting all items to be dropped off at the school no later than December 12th. 

Thank you for considering to support us in this important school-wide undertaking. 

PASTA DAY THIS WEDNESDAY

Our November Pasta Day is on Wednesday, November 26th.  Pasta order forms will be going home with your children on Monday, November 24th. Be on the lookout for them in your child's Zippy Bag/backpack. The short turn around time is a result of my being away ill much of last week. I do apologize. 

Please complete the form and send it back to the school on Tuesday, November 25th. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.
