Hey Parkston Parents and Summer Cleaners! First off ... Summer art camp is almost full! So if you are still filling out that paper please get it in ASAP before I have to cut off for the year! As kids clean out lockers and you tackle the house, don’t throw away that treasure—donate it to the Parkston Art Department! We’re happily accepting gently used or leftover school supplies, including: Markers Crayons Glue sticks & Elmer’s glue Scissors Rulers Erasers Pencils Incomplete decks of cards Just about ANY school supply! PLUS—we’re all about the crafty extras! As you clean this summer, please consider donating: Craft & scrapbooking supplies Yarn, ribbon, washi tape Sticker books & adult coloring books Magazines (for collage fun!) Paintbrushes, all sizes Hot glue sticks & glue guns Rolling pins, forks, spoons (perfect for clay and texture tools!) AND—we're still collecting: Plastic caps (any size or color—milk jugs, soda bottles, etc.) please clean Cereal boxes (please flatten them)—we use the cardboard for tons of creative projects! We have new hands on tools coming for STEAM activities! New this year: If your child doesn't need to haul all those supplies home, a donation box will be set outside the art room during locker clean-out days! Let them know they can lighten their load and support student creativity at the same time. Your donations help inspire over 400 student artists each week and truly make a difference. Thank you for supporting the arts in Parkston! Drop off anytime this summer—we’re always creating! thank you for helping grow these programs! mrs. mette k-12 art advocate

We missed an important award last Thursday. The Orange "P" is awarded to the students that participate in 3 different sports for all 4 years of high school. It is our way of honoring highly involved student-athletes. As we were combing through the 4 years, we somehow missed that Breckin Culbert had earned this prestigious award. We APOLOGIZE!! We want to make sure he gets the recognition he is due. Congrats to Breckin Culbert and Thank You for your commitment to the Football, Wrestling, and Track programs!!
