Positivity Project for September 12-18: Curiosity

P2

This week at Parklawn, we will  celebrate the character strength of Curiosity! If curiosity is a top strength, you like exploration and discovery. You ask lots of questions because you want to to learn more about anything and everything.

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -WALT DISNEY


Message from the Parklawn PTA

It was great to see so many families at the Parklawn Community Picnic, and the PTA was happy to bring the Kona Ice truck to provide free treats at that event! Parklawn PTA supports many events to bring our Parklawn community together, such as movie nights, Bingo night, and staff appreciation activities. Learn more about our plans for the year and how you can get involved at our first PTA meeting on September 23, at 7:00 p.m. In the meantime, visit our website to sign up as a PTA member and check out activities we did last year.
