Envelopes with money and names are due on Friday, May 1st.

Our cute Kindergarten students had an Spring Party. It was so cute to see them going around picking up colorful eggs. We were so lucky to see both classes. We saw Ms. Jones’s class, and they had the cutest thing. It was a tube that you put the eggs in and the eggs would slide down the tube into a bucket. Mrs. Thomas’s class had just as much fun opening their shining eggs. We were so lucky to go and see the amazing adorable kindergarteners at Easter.

Levi Ivie participated in the State Goalball Tournament on Friday, March 27 and took 1st place with his team in the younger division! Levi said the ball had bells so they could hear the ball coming.

During the month of March, Park View students learned about the value of Courage. Nelson Mandela said,"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." Callin Wilson showed courage by standing up for a friend. Chauncy Lloyd told the truth. Bryden Turnbow stood up to a bully.
