If Buddy the Elf showed up at Park school this week he would be ecstatic! The synergy and teamwork that went into the gingerbread houses from all the teachers and staff set the mood going into Christmas Break.  In a teambuilding activity set up by the jolliest elf in the school-Mr. Kay, teachers worked vigorously to build a gingerbread house in under an hour. Teachers and staff could plan and design anything they wanted to for this event.  And what a sight to behold at the end!

May this year be more promising than the year before.  Spread the happiness all around you.  

Merry Christmas to ALL of our Park Family!  

"He came with a smile.  He came nice and sweet.  He came so friendly, all students he had to meet.  He read and he read till his reader was sore.  He thought to himself, this time of year...the kids is what it's for."

Fifth grade students enjoyed a visit from the Grinch last week.  He read a story, visited classrooms, and he may or may not have got a kiss from Mrs. McAllister.  Thanks Grinch for bringing some Christmas Cheer to Park Elementary. 

The Leader in Me is catching the eye of many leaders in the community of Spanish Fork.  Last month Stacy Beck from the City Council and representative of the Chamber of Commerce, visited with students at the Victory Breakfast and became impressed with the skills and habits students are learning at Park Elementary.  Ms. Beck reported back to the Chamber and came back to Park with other members from the Spanish Fork Chamber of Commerce and presented a check of $1,500 to help keep the Leader in Me going in the years to come.
