Good morning Parkland students. You will hear music after the lunch warning bell. The music selections are made for you by some of your very own Parkland staff. This week's music is brought to you by Ms. Patten!!
The Parkland Track 2021 campaign has been officially launched. You will notice posters in the school and around the community advertizing this campaign. We hope to raise enough money by June of this year to replace the track over the summer. Please spread the word about this exciting new project and check out the website at www.parklandtrack2021.com . There is a DONATE NOW button on the website for those interested in donating. We also have a Go Fund Me page. It will take a village to raise the money needed but we can do it!
ORDER PARKLAND SPIRIT WEAR! Forms at front office - place your order and pay - pick up at end of the day, at the front office!
Just a reminder that student drop off/pick up is in the parking lot by the tennis courts. Or you can use the bus loop.
