Our local fire fighters serve our community in so many ways. They are great examples of what it means to be a public servant. They see a need and ask how can we help? This year, once again, members of South Thurston Fire & EMS and Professional Firefighters Local 3825 made a generous donation of shoes and coats for students in need at Parkside! Thanks for all your do in our community! THANK YOU! You are our heroes!

Yesterday was dress like a Tree or a Present Day at Parkside.

How many days has your child been absent from school over the past 4 weeks? Was it just one sick day or two? What about the day they left early for the dentist? Or the days you took off to extend a vacation? It can be hard to keep track.
Missing a day here or there may not seem like a problem. But school absences add up quickly. Missing two days a month—excused or unexcused—can add up to a child being considered chronically absent. The good news is that showing up at school has powerful, positive effects on children.
This Thursday, December 4th at 6:10 the doors open for our Student Success and Slipper Night.

Santa is coming to the Skookumchuck Valley!

Thank you to a current Parkside Penguin, a future Penguin and their family for helping others in need! Their donation for the food drive put us over 335 items so far. We are now 1/3 of the way to Parkside's Goal of 1000 Food Items. Let's keep it up Parkside! Thank you to all that are willing and able to help our neighbors! You all make us Parkside Proud!
