✨Retiree Spotlight -- Ginger Dafoe✨
Mrs. Dafoe started at Parkside Elementary in the Preschool in 1992 where she stayed for 4 years. She took a year off and returned in 1998. During her 33 years, she has worked with students ranging from preschool through 2nd grade and has loved being a part of the education team!
Mrs. Dafoe will miss the excitement of the children as they come through the doors each morning! She will also miss the nonstop craziness of each day (both good and not so good). Lastly, she will miss the Parkside family!
She’s looking forward to traveling with her husband, spending time with her family and really just doing anything her heart desires! 🦋🫶💃

The tradition continues! Over 30 years of Jog-A-Thons at Parkside. We even had a couple of shirts come intoday that almost prove it... these shirts were the Official shirts of the 1997 and 1998 Jog-A-Thons. This is so cool to see these throw backs! Thank you TENINO for always supporting our kids and keeping the tradition alive. YOU help us make great memories for our kids!
Next Thursday, May 21st is the Parkside Carnival. Attached is a flier that is coming home with your child soon. Please look for some free game tickets attached to that flier. More game tickets will be available at the door.
