Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Parkview Parents

I hope that it makes it easier for you to get the newsletters via the internet. There are a few things that we would like to make you aware of.
• The apples are here! You should have received the order form for the citrus and nuts. We will have a short turn around time so the citrus orders are due when we get back from Thanksgiving Break.
• THIS FRIDAY SCHOOL WILL END AT 12:00! PLEASE PICK UP YOUR CHILD ON TIME!
• We are putting together a recipe book and would like to ask you to contribute two or three of your favorite recipes. The money raised will go to buy playground equipment.
• We will be doing the Angel Tree again this year. If you know of a child whose Christmas we can make brighter, let us know.
• Check out our website for great features and pictures under “student life” where you can find pictures of Olympic Day and pictures taken by Emily Lambilotte to show what a day at Parkview is like for her! The website again is www.parkviewadventistacademy.com .
• PICTURE RETAKES ARE THIS WEDNESDAY!
• We are changing the date of the Christmas Program to Saturday evening December 13th so that we can have a Christmas dinner following the Christmas Program at Southern Hills Church. The money will go to buy a sound system that we desperately need.
• We will be honoring those students who excelled in their studies with a display on the entrance bulletin board. Look for it after Thanksgiving Break.
This week we will be teaching kids who are interested in learning to crochet the basics. It is a good skill to know but we are asking students who are interested in learning to commit to making at least two hats for newborn babies and preemie babies that we will donate to a local hospital. The hats will need to be made of cotton and can be in any color. It is not expensive. One roll of the cotton yarn at Wal-Mart is less than two dollars and you can make four baby hats from one ball. The student will also need crochet hook size 5.5 millimeters. (If any of you adults would like to participate, I will be glad to show you too!) It is very easy. We will display the finished hats on the bulletin board at the entrance.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
