Mon., Feb. 28 Book Fair Starts

BOOK FAIR IS BACK! We are thrilled to announce we will have an in-person book fair this year. The kids are always so excited to see the books arrive, and are amazed to see the gym become a book store overnight. Students will be able to shop during the school day Mon., Feb. 28 through Fri., March 4. While the event is back, it is going to look different from years past. We ask for your patience as we navigate book fair in the age of COVID! Look for more details coming home in the next few weeks, including e-wallets, instead of gift certificates, that will allow your child to shop during while they are at school and teacher wish lists. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. parkerbookfair@gmail.com

Tues., March 8 LaFresca Spirit Day

Enjoy some delicious pizza by carry out or delivery at LaFresca from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Be sure to mention Parker when you order so a portion of the proceeds can go back to Parker PTO. LaFresca is located on 5300 N Braeswood Blvd at the corner of Chimney Rock.
