Virtual DanceFit program kicks off on September 15.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 for Project Approach initiatives, both virtually and on-campus and to strengthen our school community. This year more than ever, we need additional funds to provide an excellent educational experience for all of our students. We completely understand if your family is not in a position to financially support the school right now. You can still be involved by simply SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and extended family online at funrun.com. Sharing IS supporting! All students will participate in the Virtual DanceFit regardless of financial participation.

We appreciate your support more than you know. More details to come as we get closer to kickoff!
Key dates to remember:
Donating Opens on funrun.com - 9/8
Kickoff Day- 9/15
Event Day - 9/24

PTA Reflections

PTA Reflections is a national student recognition program to encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the 2020-2021 theme: I Matter Because.
Students may choose one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography or Visual Arts.
The Parkside Elementary PTA is excited to support the arts through this and other programs. If you have any question or for more information, please contact Reflections chair ( artreflections@parksidepta.net).
