To All Our 5th Grade Parents:
PKMS Spring Parent Night 2019. Staff at PKMS are beginning to plan for our Spring Parent Night 2019. Last year we
held parent information sessions on a variety of topics and they were very well attend-
ed. We know that a strong school-going culture is key to student success. That culture is
built through parent knowledge of what schools do and what they have to offer to support
students. Thus, we want our Spring Parent Night to be a useful and informative evening for
you. Click the link below to identify your top three (3) topics of interest that you would like
to learn more about. Additionally, we have provided space for you to suggest topics which
do not appear on the list.

Also, ask your student how exercise affects the brain!
HEALTH: Nutrition is the current topic in Health! Students are learning how to read a food label and why it’s important to eat nutritious foods to fuel the body for physical activity and learning! Ask your student how much added sugar YOU should consume in your daily diet!

Develop your child's intellect through the fun game of chess! Current research has shown a strong link between chess and

No previous knowledge of chess is necessary. Each class will consist of a fun, interactive teaching period and guided practice
time. Both new and returning participants are welcome and will get to the next level under the guidance of an experienced

the zip-line, that knocks the ball down the ramp and into the goal! In this STEAM program, students will be building Rube
Goldberg “Mouse Trap” chain-reaction machines featuring levers, pulleys, and other simple machines. Engineering and
physics concepts will be introduced and reinforced through hands-on, innovative lessons and creative play time. Problem
solving skills and teamwork will be put to the test as the complexity of the projects increases from week to week. On the final
class, there will be a building competition - How many contraptions can you connect in chain reaction? No previous
experience is necessary, just a desire to learn and build. Each student will receive an award on the last day of the session, and
have the opportunity to earn Energy Belts to demonstrate their learned skills!
