๐Ÿ€๐Ÿฅง What a fun way to wrap up the school year! ๐Ÿฅง๐Ÿ€

Today, our students and staff came together for the annual Students vs. Staff Basketball Game, bringing plenty of friendly competition, school spirit, and laughter to end the year on a high note! ๐Ÿ’™โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿคโœˆ๏ธ

The excitement continued with our Pie-in-the-Face event! Back in October, our students showed incredible school spirit during the Bomber Fun Run and worked hard to support our school. Together, our school community raised more than $5,000 during the luau-themed fundraiserโ€”an amazing accomplishment! As a reward, our top fundraiser from each grade earned the opportunity to pie a staff member of their choice creating lots of smiles and unforgettable memories!

The following students were our top fundraisers:

K- Braxton Lewis

1st- Morgan Stohl

2nd-Violet Musselman

3rd-Blake Booth

4th-Joesph Yannone III

5th- Landon Sheckler

6th- There was a tie! Macie Borger & Seth Hook

A huge thank you to our students and families for making the Bomber Fun Run back in October such a success and for helping support our school throughout the year.

What a wonderful way to celebrate a fantastic school year! We wish all of our students, families, and staff a safe, happy, and relaxing summer. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽ‰

๐ŸŽก๐ŸŒŸ Celebrating a Year of Leadership and Success! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŽก

Today, our students celebrated a year of leadership, growth, and success at their Leadership Carnival! This special event recognized the many ways our students demonstrate the 7 Habits of Student Leadership throughout the school year by being proactive, setting goals, working together, showing kindness, and striving to be their best each day.

Our students enjoyed a variety of exciting activities throughout the day. In the gym, they had the opportunity to participate in fun "Minute to Win It" style games that challenged their teamwork, perseverance, and problem-solving skills.

Outside, students enjoyed the dunk tank, mini golf, a human slot machine, yard games, a duck pond, autographing their class tiles, baseball throwing activities, and more. A special treat was the delicious popcorn served by our PTO volunteers, who kept the popcorn machine running and students smiling all afternoon!

The carnival was filled with fun, laughter, and celebration as students reflected on the leadership skills they developed throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of the positive impact our students have made within our school community.

A special thank you goes out to all of our teachers, staff, and volunteers whose hard work and dedication made this event such a success.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to the National Junior Honor Society volunteers who joined us to help run the games and activities. Our students truly look up to these outstanding young leaders, and they serve as excellent role models for our school community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today a memorable celebration of leadership, teamwork, and student success! ๐Ÿ’™โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿคโœˆ๏ธ

๐ŸŽ‰ A huge THANK YOU to the S.S. Palmer/Parkside PTO for hosting and coordinating an unforgettable 6th Grade Farewell Party on Friday, May 29! ๐ŸŽ‰

As our 6th grade students prepare to move on to junior high next year, the PTO provided a wonderful celebration to honor this important milestone. The day began with a class photo in the gym (special shout out goes to Brooke Seiler for making the beautiful 6th grade banner) and continued with an exciting basket raffle, where students used tickets for chances to win themed baskets and gift cards. Our students clapped and cheered on their classmates when they won their baskets and were so respectful to each other and the PTO! Way to go, 6th grade! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Students also enjoyed team-building "Minute to Win It" style activities before gathering in the cafeteria for a delicious catered lunch featuring pizza, hot dogs, and a variety of snacks generously provided by the PTO. During lunch, raffle winners were announced, and student-voted superlative awards added even more fun to the celebration.

The festivities concluded with each student receiving a special Bomber-branded keepsake, a pencil case with a special vinyl Bomber sticker, and some also received Claudeโ€™s gift cards to remember their elementary school years.

What a memorable and meaningful event for our students! We are incredibly grateful to the S.S. Palmer/Parkside PTO for their time, generosity, and dedication to creating such a special experience for our 6th graders. Thank you for all you do to support our students and school community! ๐Ÿ’™โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿคโœˆ๏ธ
