Back to School Pizza and Popsicles – Tuesday, August 30 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.
Pizza, popsicles, and teacher lists! Come get your information about the first day of school, catch up with friends and meet the new Parkwood Panther family for the 2016/2017 school year!
According to news articles, the next 2 weeks are some of the best deals for back to school supplies!
At the Pizza and Popsicle event on August 30th we will be collecting supplies! There are a lot of generous Parkwood families that donate supplies to their child’s teacher. In addition, to that we’d love to be able to start a supply for the teachers that would help later in the year when the supplies start to run low.
What are the most requested in need items?
*Pencils
*Tissues
*Hand Sanitizer
*Expo Markers and Erasers
*Cloxrox Wipes
*Baby Wipes
*Ziplock bags (gallon and quart)
*Spiral notebooks
*Colored pencils/crayons

This is a great fundraiser for 5th grade campers to enjoy a week at Sherman Lake! Parkwood families don’t pay to have their children attend camp because of the generosity of families who help raise funds to send them and wonderful grant opportunities. More details coming soon on how you can help out!
