A Quarterly Newsletter for the Parkside Community
Fall (and winter?!) days are upon us, and we are really in the swing of things, having just wrapped up some of our long-time favorite Parkside events - Fall Fest and Ghosts of the Past! Fall Fest is a wonderful community-building opportunity and FUN for the whole family. And the Ghosts we meet each year always educate and entertain us, so kudos to the hard-working Elementary children and guides for treating us to another epic event!
If you're a Parkside alum or former parent, we would love to hear from you about your experience here. We hope you'll consider submitting one of these surveys to help us best serve current and future Parksiders.
The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is
GivingTuesday, the start of the charitable season and when many folks focus on their holiday and year-end giving. In order to help us continue to serve more children and families for the next 34 years and beyond, we hope you'll consider a tax-deductible gift to Parkside's annual fund this Giving Tuesday, December 3rd.
To donate on GivingTuesday, please visit our Amplify Austin fundraising page HERE. If you're considering a large gift or have any questions about fundraising at Parkside,
please contact Courtney. We appreciate that some are in a better position to give than others, but every gift is gratefully received and will benefit our whole community.
Another way to support Parkside is through the purchase of our special edition Parkside hoodies! Just in time for the holidays, we are bringing back last year's sweatshirts and hoodies and adding a zip-front version, too! All items are available for a limited time through the Bonfire website ONLY at these links:
Big Logo Sweatshirts and Hoodies (youth and adult sizes)
Small Logo Zip-front Hoodies (adult sizes only)
Click through each link to see all the styles and colors, and place your order. Payment and shipping are through Bonfire, and a portion of each sale is given back to Parkside. Get your holiday shopping started and wear your Parkside Pride all year!
Again, this is a special time at Parkside, for many reasons, and we are full of purpose and always, gratitude. Coming together each day to do this beautiful work is an honor and a gift we do not take for granted. Thank you all for being part of this community, now and through the years, as we would not be here without you. Our best to you and yours for a happy and healthy holiday season and a joy-filled new year.
