NORTH CENTRAL PARKE NEWS

Seniors at Parke Heritage High School gathered for Senior Sunrise on Friday, August 15.

This was a time for fellowship while enjoying doughnuts and juice at the baseball fields.

We wish all of the seniors an awesome year as they finish their high school years!

Rockville Elementary School second grade classes took a field trip to the Parke County Community garden on Friday, August 15.

Local gardeners and members of the Rockville Rotary Club gave tours of the garden. The second graders learned about what gardeners are growing at the Community Garden through hands-on experiences. They had sessions with gardeners and a session to pick and taste different vegetables.

Thank you to the Rotary Club for allowing the second graders to visit their Garden.

The Parke Heritage High School tennis team placed second at the Northview Tournament held on Saturday, August 16.

Number three singles player Nate Woodard and the number one doubles team of Jackson Jenkins and Joel Miller all received plaques for finishing undefeated in the tournament.

Magic was in the air! 🪄

Mrs. Morgan Myers’ sixth grade language arts classroom at Parke Heritage Middle School was visited by an owl on Wednesday, August 20! 🦉
Two feathers were left behind, along with letters addressed to her students.

Her first hour students were excited to receive their Hogwarts acceptance letters.

Getting slimed... 😂

Excitement and groans filled the air on Friday, August 15, as students slimed Ms. Kylie Gates, Mrs. Karsyn Albertson and School Resource Officer Tyler Milner.

Throughout the week, students purchased cups of the gooey substance for the chance to take part in the event. The excitement reached its peak when Mrs. Albertson, who received the most votes, earned the special privilege of having the remaining slime dumped on her.

The event was a chance for students to have a slimy good time while serving as a fundraiser for the PHMS PTO.

A big thank you to Ms. Gates, Mrs. Albertson and Officer Milner for graciously taking part in the messy fun for a good cause.
