On September 15, we’ll kick off our Virtual DanceFit program. 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!

PTA Reflections
Hey Pipers REFLECTION is back and this year it’s all virtual! The 2020-21 theme is “I Matter Because…” And with the crazy year we’re all having, it’s a great way to have your children do some self reflection and express themselves what they’re feeling through art. Please visit the PSES Reflections web page here for rules, videos, and details on how to enter. You can submit as many entries as you’d like in any of the categories: Visual Arts, Photography, Literature, Dance Choreography, Film Production and Music Composition. There’s even a Special Artist category for those who receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504. Entries are due by October 25th. After our virtual blind judging, the top 28 pieces from our school will go onto Wake County for judging. Winners will then continue onto the NC state level and then national. Last year we had 3 county Reflection winners! Will you be next?!
Parkside PTA functions solely on parent involvement. We welcome you to explore the ways we are thinking about enhancing the educational experience for you, your students, and our teachers and staff. Share your interests with us here!
