Hello Parkview Parent!

We have a very exciting week coming up this next week! Sunday will be Parent-Teacher Conferences. You should have received the schedule this week and noted the time when you and your child are scheduled to meet with the teacher. Please contact your child’s teacher if you will not be able to keep the appointment. We hope that you will be pleased with the progress that your child is making. This is a good time to talk about your concerns and strategies for improving your child’s education. We are a team and we work best when we are on the same page.
Please help us with the following items:
· Fill out a short questionnaire to help us with the latest Valuegenesis. The teachers will have them for you at the Parent-Teacher Conference.
· Sign up to support your child’s class with the Fall Festival. If everyone helps out, it will make the load easier for all of us and everyone will enjoy the activities more.
· Select your most requested recipes to put into a Parkview Cookbook to raise money for playground equipment. Please submit at least to our office. Our students will type them and organize them.
· Tell your friends and family about the Fall Festival. This is always a lot of fun! There is still time to add booths. All but our youngest students will be singing for the first time publicly! Bring money for the pie auction and for great food and fun activities!
· SELL APPLES!
· Check out the Scholastic Book Fair in the classroom off of the library! It will be there all week, ending the night of Fall Festival.
I can’t believe that we are at the end of October! This Friday we are making plans to celebrate Reformation Day. October 31st is when Martin Luther courageously nailed the 95 thesis to the Wittenburg church door. We are planning some interesting activities which we hope will help the students understand the importance of the Protestant Reformation and to trust the Bible so that they won’t be led astray.
Have a wonderful Sabbath! Pray for us as we work with your children!
