Park Elementary honored Specialist Stan Mecham, parent of Zoee and Griff Mecham, and hero to the Park Elementary family.  

As part of the National Guard's deployment of the 116th, Specialist Mecham will be heading to Kuwait on a year long mission.  To send him off, Park students expressed gratitude by singing God Bless the USA, preparing patriotic speeches, and writing "Thank You" notes for Specialist Mecham to read while serving our country.

Mr. Glenn is one our amazing speech therapists in the school.  Here he is teaching Mrs.  Leifson's students how we make different sounds when we speak.  You can see the reaction of the students as he talks to them about the vocal cords using a balloon to demonstrate.  We love our speech teachers!

Park School Counselor, Mrs. Smith taught Mrs. Leifson's kindergarten class how to "Stand Strong" when dealing with bullies.  Mrs. Leifson is excited to report that students are beginning to use this program in a proactive manner.  They use the "Please Stop" signal and it has changed behavior. Way to go Panthers!
