A penny saved COULD BE a penny earned for the final day of Penny Wars tomorrow morning if the silver and green don't invade your teachers can.  

Check out the list of leaders and those in the hole to MAKE YOUR LAST STAND at the Penny Wars table.  If you would like to make a donation with a check or in bills and count it as pennies for your student's class you may do so simply by letting a school official know or with an attatched note.  Or, continue bombing other classes to hinder their progress.

Mrs. McAllister's class LOVED  experimenting with conversation hearts as they learned about water.  

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
Benjamin Franklin

After many days of positive behavior, Mrs. Poulson's class earned a reward.  Park's brave first grade intern, Mrs. Poulson, gave the class a choice for their reward and they chose the most obvious activity...MAKE A PINATA!  What a fun activity for these little first graders.  Way to go Panthers!  

Students in Mrs. Coates class collaborated with District Art Speciailist Tom Wood with an integrated art lesson as part of the GAINS program.  Students enjoyed an integrated watercolor lesson on iconic Utah arches.

It's Penny War time again!  CHECK your COUCHES, your CONSOLES, your CUPBOARDS and COFFEE CANS for all that loose CHANGE and support Park Elementary!

Penny Wars supports Park students with fundraising.  The War begins as students bring in pennies for their own class but silver and bills are used to bomb other classes.  A penny earns a students' class a point, while silver and bills count against the class total. 

In the end, it's a Win-Win for everyone!
