Park Elementary

Congratulations to the 2024-2025 NEHS Members of Park Elementary! It was a privilege to induct you into the National Elementary Honor Society last week!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our chocolate fundraiser!

Several of our classrooms had the opportunity to learn about earthworms from Ms. Susan Eichhorn of the East Central Indiana Solid Waste District. We are so grateful to our local communities partnering with us to provide our students with hands-on experiences in the classroom. #WeAreMG

It's Digital Citizenship Week! What a great time to pause and reflect as a family by doing a media balance check-up on your family. Here are some questions to get you thinking! -Do digital devices (phones, tablets, TV) ever keep us from getting enough sleep? -Do we use them while we eat? -Do we do activities together without devices? -Do we ever use them together? -Does our digital device use ever cause fights? If so, what are the fights about? -When we use our devices, how is it fun? What do we learn? -Is there anything we want to change about how we use our devices? If so, what? -Does the way your family uses media feel balanced and healthy? Give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Does your family agree? -If you want to make changes, what are they? Think of changes that work for the whole family since you're all on the same team!
