The PTA organized a wonderful event for the students of our school, Christmas Books and Candy Canes. Parents, elves and even Mrs. Claus were asked to come and share their favorite Christmas Book; each student received a Candy Cane to munch on while they listened to the stories. This was a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit. Thanks to all those who helped organize this special occasion for the students.
Park View students are showing Charity during the month of December by sharing stuffed animals, canned food and blankets or coats to cheer the hearts of their neighbors. They were able to collect 569 stuffed animals. The count is still out on the canned food and more information will be coming as students bring blankets and coats this week to warm souls. Thanks or your generosity.
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

At the Native American presentation we learned about how the Native Americans helped the early settlers survived. They showed us dances, taught us where each of the tribes live, and showed us pictures of how the chief dresses. We learned how Native Americans made chocolate and planted tomatoes and potatoes. They showed us a baby in a cradle board.

They presented their speeches to the students during the school day on November 20, then informed their parent and family that evening with the knowledge they have gained. Quin Christensen shared, "I researched to learn about Henry Ford.
What a quality way to learn about sounds! All the Kindergarten students learned that Q and U always work together as a team. Mrs. Stirland was the Justice of the Peace who quickly accepted the job to put them together at the ceremony. Mrs. Rife’s parents were quite qualified to represent Q and U. In the afternoon class the teachers had two students in their class be Miss Q and Mr. U!!! One was dressed as a quarterback, the other was a queen. You could almost see the quarterback quake and the queen quiver as they walked down the aisle.
