Appelley Poetry Contest

Dear family,


Your child has the option to participate in a poetry contest
through Appelley Publishing. During this school year,
your child will read poems, find poems they love, make
connections with poems, examine poems and create
his/her own poems. I encourage your child to participate
in the poetry competition, but need your help filling out
the attached form. However, it is OPTIONAL for your child
to participate in this contest. Once we type the poems, we
will complete the number of word section at school. Please
complete the form by Nov. 1st. There is more information
on the site: www.appelley.org. If you have questions,
please contact  your child’s teacher.

PBIS Celebration

Dear Families,
     It is with excitement that we prepare for our next PBIS celebration this Thursday, October 18th.  Our students have been working hard at demonstrating Parkview Pride in all areas of our school.  With each compliment our class has received from Parkview staff members, we have earned a compliment.  Our school goal was to earn 150 total compliments!  Way to go, Parkview!   
     As our school incentive, the Quarter 1 PBIS celebration will be a special live concert with Ms. Kendra Swanson, CSD's Scientist in Residence, and MUSICIAN.  We are thrilled to have booked her to perform concerts for our students located in our BenKin Learning Center that day.  Please make sure your child wears a warm coat, gloves, and hat (if necessary) to school on Thursday so they can enjoy our outdoor 30 minute concert.
Be sure to ask your child about this special event planned!  

Thank you for your help in reminding students to dress warm that day.

PTO Fundraiser

Parkview PTO is excited to launch two great fundraising programs that will directly support our students and school including you, our amazing teachers. Once again, we will be offering Marcus Movie tickets and Mixed Bag designs. If you haven't picked them up already, we have packets for each student in your class in the office.  Both fundraisers will begin this Monday, October and run through October 26.  All orders and money should be turned in no later than Monday, October 29.  

As an incentive for the kids - the family that sells the most Mixed Bag Designs, and the family that sells the most Marcus tickets and/or gift cards will receive a $25 gift certificate to the book fair in November. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact one of us!

Thanks so much for your help, and for everything you do for our kiddos!
