We are looking forward to an exciting week as we recognize Mental Health and Education Week at Parkinson Centennial P.S. This year’s theme is “Thriving Together, Building Healthy Futures”.
Glow Party Dance-a-Thon! In connection with Mental Health week, our second annual dance-a-thon takes place this week on Wednesday, May 7th! This fundraiser is an effort to raise money for gym equipment and a new scoreboard. A suggested donation of $2 a student is recommended. Donations can be made using Cash Online, or at the door the day of the dance. Chips will also be available for purchase at a cost of $2/bag. Each student will also receive a glow stick! Students are encouraged to dress in their most fabulous dancing gear! We can't wait to dance the day away!
Freezie Fridays! Starting, this Friday, May 9th, freezies will be for sale at second break for $1 each. Freezies are first come, first served. Proceeds go towards intermediate trips. We thank you for your support!

Arriving on time helps to create healthy routines and start the day off on the right foot. Students are encouraged to enter in with their classes and only use the front door if they are late. We would like to remind parents the importance of checking in at the office. This is part of our schools plan to ensure safety in the building. Looking forward to a wonderful week ahead!
