Student-Led Founder's Day Assembly
|
|
Dear Parents,
Maya Angelou once said, "When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed."
Nothing is more heartwarming than watching a child serve food to the homeless, create crafts with the elderly and lonely in a nursing home, take their time to "use their very best handwriting" to create a handmade card for the sick, or write a special note to a friend or family member. Just today one of our 2nd graders proudly told me that he is emptying his piggy bank this weekend to buy a toy for Toys for Tots! He told me that he had been saving this money by doing his chores at home. At Park Maitland, we offer many ways for our students to practice charity and learn gratitude.
This week we celebrated Founder's Day and honored Nell Cohen and her talented daughters for the gift of Park Maitland School! We are certain that Mrs. Cohen would have been so very proud of our students for living the mission and core values of the school by learning to show kindness, compassion, and empathy! Enjoy
THIS VIDEO
from the celebration, created by our student leaders.
We all adore our children and want to show it by giving them everything they desire. The biggest gift we can give them, however, is the gift of gratitude, charity, and generosity. True happiness comes from learning the joys of sharing and giving and reaping the benefits of making others happy. During the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, let your child practice the spirit of giving and feel the joy that comes from that experience.
Thank you for sharing your kind-hearted children with us!
Warmly,
Cindy Moon
Head of School

Book Fair & Holiday Shoppe
December 9th - 13th
The Book Fair and Penguin Patch Holiday Shoppe are coming to Park Maitland NEXT WEEK! Students will have an opportunity to visit at scheduled times during the week so as to not interrupt their academic classes. Envelopes have gone home.

The Holiday Shoppe will be open Mon. - Thur. from 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Contact Ms. Sonntag by email at
jsonntag@parkmaitland.org
for Holiday Shoppe volunteer opportunities.
We ask that parents send money for the Book Fair and Holiday Shoppe in the provided envelopes and clearly mark your child's name, grade, and class. This is MOST important! Envelopes can be returned to your child's homeroom class. If you are coming to shop with your child, credit cards will be accepted at both the book fair and the holiday shop.
Because students will visit the Book Fair and Holiday Shoppe during the same period, we are asking that you indicate if leftover money can be spent or should be returned home.

Park Maitland Icon and beloved friend, Nat Garvin passed away on Saturday, November 30th. Mrs. Garvin worked as Dean of Students for almost 30 years. She was known for her kindness towards all children and her tender and incredible heart! She was the very best friend of our Founder Mrs. Nell Cohen and the aunt of our beloved Darcy Rios and Darby Ballard. Mrs. Garvin was a class act - graceful, kind, wise, compassionate, gentle-spirited, a peacemaker and calming force. Her warm and kind spirit will forever be etched in our hearts.
Services are scheduled for 11 a.m., Saturday, December 14th at First Baptist Orlando – Henry Chapel, 3000 S John Young Pkwy, Orlando. Gathering of family and friends immediately following the service will be held at the church and all are welcome.
