Park View Selects a Student Council

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on

Park View just held another wonderful Student Council selection. With over 70 applicants and 20 positions, it was wonderful to see so many students want to make our school a better place. Each candidate had to write a one-page essay explaining their best attributes and describing a time they served another person without thinking of being rewarded. They also had to dress up for their interview with Mrs. Reynolds who asked them, "Why should I choose you to be on Student Council?" "The responses were fabulous," Mrs. Reynolds exclaimed.

Homework Night at Park View

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on
"Do you have homework tonight, honey?" a common question in virtually every household, every afternoon. But homework expectations have changed over the years. Students are expected to explain their mathematical thinking in words. Children must not only be able to read, but must do so with fluency, accuracy and comprehension such that they can apply it to real-world circumstances. At times, parents feel at a loss as they attempt to help their children succeed with homework. Park View has tried to bridge this gap by holding an annual Homework Night.

Park View Joins in Patriot Day Celebration for Payson City

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on
Payson City invited Park View's 5th grade to sing at the Patriot Day celebration held at the city park. There they not only honored our US troops, but specifically paid tribute to our local heroes: police officers and fire fighters. Almost 80 children, led by Mrs. Searcy, our music specialist, sang a patriotic medley including such favorites as , "God Bless America," "My County Tis of Thee," and "America the Beautiful." Dressed in their best red, white, and blue, the children were initially nervous, but found it much more fun than they thought.

Submitted by joann.kirk on

PAYSON, Utah-May 6, 2013-Park View Elementary Parent Teacher Association with the help of local businesses kicked-off a historical teacher appreciation celebration. Due to a limited budget, past teacher appreciation events have only consisted of small teacher gifts, decorated classroom doors and a PTA hosted luncheon. However, this year with over $5,000 worth of donations from local businesses, the Park View PTA was able to make gift baskets stuffed with goodies for all school staff members, and additional daily gifts for each teacher throughout the entire week.
