Christmas Break

A Note from Mr.


Field:
Be the ONE- To make a
difference!
Dear Parents,

At Park Elementary we
strive to help each of our
students to be well-
rounded individuals who
are ready to be strong
contributing members of
society. We believe in
teaching the whole child
and our school-wide Be
the ONE theme is one
way that we are working
collectively to teach and
promote our students
social/emotional growth.

We recently ended the month of


November with an all-school
Park family meeting in which
we celebrated and highlighted
ways that our Park staff and
students are being the ONE to
help others.
At this assembly we recognized
Mrs. Gitlers and Ms. Uthes
classes for their volunteer work
during their Rake and Run in
which students, parents and
teachers raked the yards of our
Park neighbors in need. We
also highlighted the amount of
money that our 1st grade
classrooms raised for Project
Calvin (over $ 800) to help fund
the tuition for Calvin to attend a
quality school in Africa. We
also highlighted the winning
class for the PE Cares Can Drive
(Mrs. Gitlers class) and the
large amount of items that were
collected both at our school
and our school district.
These were all great tangible
examples for our Park students
to see how being the ONE
truly makes a difference for our
local and global communities.
If youd like to see some
pictures of these meaningful
experiences, please take a
minute to view the 2-minute

Have a wonderful weekend!

From the
Gym:
We've just finished up
our PE C.A.R.E.S. Food
Drive. Altogether we had
2051 items for Park. Mrs.
Gitler's 3rd grade class
had the highest
classroom total with 217
items. They will receive a
bowling/pizza party in
appreciation of their
efforts. The total for all
the elementary schools
combined was 20,922
items! What a great
opportunity for our
students to be a part of!
Please remember to
send gym shoes every
day. I have told the
children it is their
responsibility, not mom's
or dad's, to make sure
they have their shoes for
PE, but any help moms
and dads can give in this
department is greatly
appreciated! I wish you
all a happy and healthy
holiday season! Thank
you for all you do for our
kids and our community!
-Mr. Beimers
