🌟 Congratulations to Park School’s Employee of the Month, Ms. Pat Freeland! 🌟 It is with great pleasure that we recognize Ms. Pat Freeland as the Employee of the Month for Park School. As a paraprofessional for our K-1 students, Ms. Pat consistently models "The Roadrunner Way" with her kindness, dedication, and unwavering support. She is always willing to help, whether it's covering duties, watching classes so teachers can take a restroom break, or even stepping in to assist where she sees a need—without ever being asked. Ms. Pat provides individualized interventions for students who need extra support in the general education classroom, ensuring they receive the assistance they deserve. She treats every student as if they were her own grandchildren, often bringing in extra snacks and prizes to brighten their day. You’ll find her in the hallways greeting students with smiles, waves, and jokes, spreading positivity wherever she goes. Her presence throughout the day is a testament to her commitment, and her willingness to work her tail off in any situation is truly inspiring. Ms. Pat truly embodies the heart of "The Roadrunner Way," setting an example for us all. Thank you, Ms. Pat, for your dedication and the joy you bring to our school community every day! 🧡 — Nichole Tow, Park & Hulet Principal

🎉🔥Yesterday, Park and Hulet Elementary students had an exciting and educational experience at the Fire Prevention Assembly held at the George Gardner Auditorium! Our K-5 students learned all about fire safety and even got to see Mrs. Tow suit up in full fire gear! 🧑‍🚒 The fun didn’t stop there—Sparky the Fire Dog made a special appearance, and everyone cheered as Ms. Newton Pender and Mr. Charter competed in a friendly race to see who could hook up the fire hose the fastest and spray down over 3 water bottles each! 💦 It was a day full of fun and learning, and we are so proud of our students for participating and learning how to stay safe. Great job, Roadrunners! 🚒🐾 #FireSafety #TheRoadrunnerWay #FunAndLearning

Greetings Roadrunners! We ask that everyone is reminded of bus stop safety! Watch for students, never pass a bus with the stop arm out, and slow down around buses! Let's all do our part to keep all Roadrunners safe! Thank you for being Roadrunners!

🌟👏 Congratulations to Mrs. A, our Employee of the Month! 🌟👏 Mrs. Analla has truly embodied "The Roadrunner Way" through her remarkable support for both students and staff. As a first-year mentor to Mrs. Butaslac, who joined us from the Philippines, Mrs. Analla went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. Despite Mrs. Butaslac's delayed arrival, Mrs. Analla took it upon herself to set up the classroom, create bulletin boards, and prepare lesson plans for her substitute. Her dedication ensured Mrs. Butaslac’s students experienced continuity and high-quality instruction from day one. Beyond this, Mrs. Analla consistently steps in to support staff and students whenever needed, whether during transitions or by taking on extra duties. Her proactive approach and willingness to lend a helping hand have had a positive impact on our entire Park community. Mrs. Analla's actions not only benefit our staff and students but also exemplify unwavering support and perseverance. She manages it all with a smile, spreading positivity and encouragement to everyone around her. We are incredibly fortunate to have Mrs. Analla at Park Elementary. Thank you, Mrs. Analla, for your exceptional dedication and for modeling "The Roadrunner Way" for all of us! 🏆👏 #EmployeeOfTheMonth #TheRoadrunnerWay #ParkPride

It was wonderful to see the smiles on both the students’ and grandparents’ faces, and we hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. While the even was great, we’re already looking forward to making some minor adjustments for next year to ensure the event runs even more smoothly. Overall, it was a joy to see so many happy kids and happy grandparents together, and we can’t wait to continue this tradition in the future. Thank you again for making this day so special. We hope to see you next year! Love, Mrs. Tow
