Thank you to Borzick Farms Milkhouse Meats, located in Montello for donating blue doll porcelain pumpkins to the WASD Food Service and to the high school Family and Consumer Sciences class. Blue doll pumpkins are great for baking pies, cupcakes, bread, muffins and more! Mrs. Drake's class carved, scooped, pureed and froze for later use. From the kitchen, Crystal and Kalla processed enough pumpkin puree for each school to make homemade pumpkin bread for breakfast! Watch for it on the upcoming menu! Breakfast is free to all students district wide regardless of income!

We are proud to recognize this student for his outstanding work ethic, kindness, and respect in our school community.
On a field trip, he went above and beyond by cheering on his peers during team-building activities and ensuring his whole group felt included and supported. In the hallways, he is known for his friendly greetings, always taking a moment to say “hi” to his teachers and classmates, creating a positive atmosphere.
He consistently participates in class, sharing thoughtful insights and encouraging his peers to engage in discussions. He is also quick to lend a helping hand, whether it's offering to explain directions to a peer or sharing his materials. His readiness for each class, with all necessary supplies in hand, demonstrates his commitment to learning and sets a great example for others.
This student truly embodies the spirit of kindness and respect, making the 7th Grade Team proud to nominate Hunter Collins for Parkside’s Student of the Month.
