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 thoroughly 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 35 years and beyond, we hope you'll consider a tax-deductible gift to Parkside's annual fund this Giving Tuesday, December 2nd.
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.
SAVE THE DATE!
Saturday, April 25th, 3-6pm
It's Parkside's 35th Anniversary!
We will be celebrating Parksiders past and present and sharing memories from across the years of this most special community. Please make plans to join us on campus for a good ol' family reunion and casual afternoon with food, fun, and of course, music! Stay tuned for more details this spring, and if you'd like to be part of the planning committee (we would love to have some alums!), please let us know.
See you April 25th!
This is always a special time of year at Parkside, for many reasons, and we are full of purpose and deep 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 truly 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.
