Friday, May 3, is Orthodox Good Friday, and a teacher work day. Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. There will be no school for students that day. See the complete school year calendar. |
We are so excited for our Parklawn Family Field Trip to Museum of American Indian on May 4! We had over 470 people send in their interest form last week coming from all of our classrooms! Since we are limited to 150 seats, we did a random selection from those families interested. We contacted families this week regarding if your family has a seat reserved for the trip. If your family was not selected, you are still welcome to meet us there. We love it when our families are able to join us!
Where: National Museum of the American Indian: 4th St SW, Washington, DC 20560
Date: Saturday, May 4, 2024; bus leaves Parklawn at 9:30 with approximate 10 am arrival

Come visit Parklawn’s May Family Market from 5-7 pm! We’re partnering with the @Capital Area Food Bank to offer fresh produce and dry goods to members of the Parklawn school community, free of charge. Groceries are available on a first‑come first‑serve basis. This is our last market of the school year! We'll see you there! |
The Parklawn PTA is excited to support Family Night on May 2. There are a number of opportunities to help at various stations, such as the picnic, open mic stage, and photo booth. We are looking for volunteers particularly during the 6:45 - 7:30 p.m. time slot. This would give you an opportunity to enjoy the activities with your family, and then help out. Please review the sign-up sheet for options.
We are also organizing activities for National Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week from May 6 - 10, which will include a lunch and other treats for staff. If you are interested in helping with any of those activities, please email parklawnpta@gmail.com.
Mark your calendars for our Bingo Night on May 17! We are collecting many exciting items for our raffle, and all Bingo winners will be able to select a prize. This is a fun tradition at Parklawn that you won't want to miss!
Finally, we will be holding elections for the PTA offices of President, Vice President, and Treasurer later in May. Last week we shared about the role of President. Here are more details about the Treasurer position. The Treasurer maintains accurate financial records for the PTA. They deposit and withdraw funds (such as depositing membership dues, or withdrawing cash for an event). In the fall, they prepare a budget for the school year, and in June they ensure an annual financial review is completed. The Treasurer also files our tax and insurance forms so we can maintain our nonprofit status. If you are a member of the PTA and are interested in learning more about or running for any of the open positions, please email current president Joselle Shea at parklawnpta@gmail.com.
