Parsons District Schools

Parsons High School Art II and III, and even ceramics students were excited that they were allowed by their teacher Brooklynn Vincent to enhance their creative space at school and make it more their own, by painting murals on the walls and other surface areas of the art room.

Guthridge students enjoyed some holiday fun, decorating cookies, making hot cocoa, playing games, coloring and more during the annual tradition of Holiday Rotation Stations.

Parsons Middle School students in Jordan Ozier's science class said science has never been so much fun, or tasted so good, as it did during their most recent assignment of building a model of a plant or animal cell, with the option of their model being edible.

Students in Mrs Hutley's class were having fun and boosting holiday spirits by getting a little grinchy with a craft project.

Lincoln and Garfield students had the chance to see all the trees and items donated for the Stella Wells Christmas Tree Auction Friday night. Some trees left students awestruck, like a Polar Express tree with an operating train whose track was suspended near the top of the tree.

PHS FCCLA students decorated a tree for the Stella Wells Christmas Tree Auction, reusing decorations from last school year's prom to create their Candyland themed tree. It proved to be one of the most popular with elementary school children touring the trees this morning.

Toni Martinez was the winner of the December Thrillshare special drawing, in which she won three original, hand painted keepsake Christmas cards. We appreciate all those who help share the wonderful things happening in our schools through postings to our website and social media, and we are always trying to find little ways to say, "Thank you, for all you do."

Garfield 3rd grade students got a lesson in charitable giving as they visited the PACF's Giving Tuesday event . Students talked to representatives of the many worthy causes in the county and chose ones that stood out to them that they believed should share in special PACF funds.

Thank you to all our Special Education teachers and support staff for being there for our students.

Lincoln kindergarten students visited area nursing homes and downtown businesses Tuesday morning entertaining listeners with songs about Thanksgiving. The audiences heard songs with lyrics sharing everything from having a turkey as a pet to giving thanks.

Residents from Presbyterian Manor visited with their first grade pals at Lincoln Tuesday before the children leave for Thanksgiving break. The groups made Thanks bracelets and necklaces together, with each different color of bead representing something they are thankful for.

PHS graduates were kind to return Tuesday to speak to current PHS students about their personal experiences transitioning into college, offering insight on what to expect and advice as to what helped them most and what to avoid. They then answered questions.
