Parkville Highlights

That’s a wrap on Parkville PTO’s Annual World’s Fair! Students took their last journey around the globe, visiting China, Greece, India, and Peru. Day 1 whisked students away from the USA to explore Iran, Pakistan and the Philippines and on Day 2 students traveled to Israel, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Taiwan! Families played a big role too! Caregivers were given opportunities to enhance and enrich their child’s experience from home, making this adventure even more meaningful. Our students have “traveled” to 11 different countries — exploring cultures, traditions, and landmarks, all thanks to the amazing efforts of our PTO and school community. Thank you to everyone who made this event so meaningful!

Parkville School students and faculty marked the 100th day of school in style! Dressed in our Parkville shirts, we came together for a day filled with fun, learning, and school spirit. Highlights of our celebration included wearing 100th-day crowns from our amazing PTO while marching proudly in our 100 Day Parade! Students rotated through 100-day themed centers, games, and activities and completed 100 exercises led by Coach Smith. We captured the moment with a 100-day photo and students received special 100th-day pencils. We are so proud of all the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students over the past 100 days! Here’s to the next 4 months of learning, laughter, and success at Parkville School!

All students at Parkville School learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his powerful message of equality, kindness, and peace.

Through read-alouds, videos, mini-books, and hands-on activities, students explored concepts like fairness, kindness, and getting along peacefully. They expressed their own dreams through special writing and drawing activities and created meaningful and colorful art projects. This is just a small sampling of the meaningful work and reflection that took place at Parkville!
 
 

 

Parkville School’s Pajama Story Night and PTO Book Fair was truly “out of this world!” Thank you to the teachers and staff who made the night a huge success! It was wonderful to see our students and their families enjoying stories read by their teachers in their classrooms.  A very special thank you to the Parkville PTO for organizing a successful Book Fair! Your support helps make Parkville, and our events, extra special.  We’d also like to thank our families for their incredible support with the teacher wish list—your generosity means so much and helps our classrooms thrive!

 

The  Parkville PTO hosted the annual “Name the Parkville Penguins” Election! During the primaries in early October, students and staff narrowed down the penguin names to Tux, Waddles, Glitzy, and Fluffy! On Parkville Election Day, Parkville students voted for their two favorite names! 

Students learned about the voting process, had an opportunity to cast their own votes, and received an “I Voted!” sticker! While integrating social studies, and even some math, Parkville School’s 2024 election was quite a success! Thank you to our family volunteers for your time and energy! 

The results are in and the winners are... Waddles and Fluffy! Congratulations!  #DiscoverGreatness #ParkvilleProud

 

Parkville students had a blast at the annual Pumpkin Patch! The Parkville PTO outdid themselves with decorations and photo ops galore! Every Parkville student got to choose their perfect pumpkin and Coach Smith led the fall-themed fun with relay races! Big thanks to the Parkville PTO and Coach Smith for making this Pumpkin Patch a success! Creativity and school spirit were also in full swing at Parkville! Students and staff rocked their favorite school spirit gear and fun costumes, making it a day to remember.

Parkville PTO recently hosted their fall 'Birthday Book Club' event. First introduced in 2009, this is a wonderful way to celebrate Parkville birthdays! Four times a year, families have the opportunity to participate in the 'Birthday Book Club' as a way to celebrate a child's birthday. Students are given an opportunity to choose a book to donate to the Parkville Library. This program has been very successful, enriching Parkville's library and classrooms with many new, high-quality, and wonderfully diverse books. Every donated book is marked with a special bookplate acknowledging the student's birthday and remains in the school for many years to come. The donated books are truly gifts that keep on giving. #ParkvilleProud #DiscoverGreatness 

 

 

At Parkville School, we strive to use our talents, gifts and energy to move the world to a better place. During the month of October, every Parkville student created their own dot, inspired by the book, “The Dot,” by Peter H. Reynolds. On Unity Day, we wore orange for kindness, acceptance and inclusion and unveiled our school-wide display that truly represents every Parkville student! We can all proudly make our mark!

From learning routines to making new friends, it was a great start to the school year for Parkville’s PreK and kindergarten students. Mrs. Diana Haanraadts, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education, was on hand to assist with arrival, lunch and dismissal and our local NCPD, Security Guard, Mr. Will, and Crossing Guard, Ms. Constance, were also present to greet our students and to keep us safe! Dr. Bossert, Superintendent of Schools, spent time visiting Parkville to see how well students are adjusting to their new routines and classrooms! Here’s to new friendships, amazing adventures, and endless discoveries! #ParkvilleProud #DiscoverGreatness

 

Nassau County Police Department visited Parkville School for a very special "Touch-A-Truck" event. Students were able to learn about the different branches of the police department with visits to stations including: ESU, SWAT, the Mounted Unit, Emergency and a visit with our very own POP Officers! Students were able to get up close and personal with emergency service vehicles and police officers who work to keep our community safe each and every day! A special thank you to Dr. Bossert and BOE President, Mrs. Sassouni for stopping by to join in the fun! We even had the Aviation Unit fly over Parkville with a helicopter! #ParkvilleProud
