Harvest Festival & Flames of Fall

The annual Harvest Festival is coming up on October 27th! This event is open to all Parkview families and community members. A $1 donation per person (up to $5 per family) for entry is requested but not mandatory, and all of the games inside are free to play. Each class will run a booth and the 6th grade will be selling pizza and drinks to help raise money for science camp. Come out for some fall fun and support your school!

In addition to the festival games and refreshments, one of the favorite traditions at Parkview is the Flames of Fall where we set up an area and display lighted jack-o-lanterns from all students that bring in carved pumpkins. It is truly dazzling to the eye. To make this happen we need several volunteers to help with set up starting Wednesday, October 26th, and throughout the day on Thursday. If you are interested in helping, please contact us at parkviewptochico@gmail.com, through our Facebook page or leave your number in the school office and someone will call you. 

Thank you!



Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week is a drug-awareness campaign designed to help our kids make healthy, positive life choices. Our week will start with a kick-off assembly on Monday. Local author, Linda Mobilio-Keeling, will be there to read from her book, "Feeling Safe with Officer Frank," and local police officers will talk with the children about being safe and making good decisions.

To help liven things up, each day of the week will have a different dress-up theme. Monday will be wear RED day, Tuesday is Crazy Hair and Socks day, Wednesday is Pajama day, and the week will end on Thursday with School Spirit day - so wear your Parkview shirts or colors!

Welcome to the Parkview PTO Blog!

Welcome Parkview parents and teachers! This blog has been created to provide updated information about events and programs at Parkview Elementary, but you can also check us out on Facebook and join in the conversation if you like.

As always, we strongly encourage parental involvement in our school and PTO activities, so if you're interested in becoming a member of the PTO or in helping with any of our events just let us know. We meet only once a month and volunteer time for many events is half an hour to an hour, so if you've got the time we would love to see your smiling face!
