SANTA Pictures this Thursday! Prek - 4th grade will ALL take individual pictures with Santa. You do not have to return a form for individual pictures. FORMS are only needed if you are requesting sibling photos. You will list names and grades on the form that are to be in the sibling picture. If the sibling form for a group picture is not turned in by tomorrow morning, we will not be able to fulfill the group request. All students will be given a paper with their login code after their picture is taken. Parents will use this code to view their child's pictures online and place orders. Orders will be mailed to your home. I will send out a "fake" account code tomorrow that can be used to view pricing and sample pictures. Family photos can be scheduled for Thursday between 3:30-6:00 pm. You must email bursonc@parkerschapelschool.com before 3:00 pm tomorrow to schedule a family time for Thursday afternoon / evening.

Parkers Chapel Parents & Community: The 2nd grade needs your help for their "Hot Cocoa Christmas Party". They are asking for our PC family and friends to donate any good, 8-12oz, Christmas or Winter mugs that you don’t use anymore, or any that you are willing to part with. Every child will select a donated mug to use for the day and then they will get to take their mug home at the end of the day. The kids will love this! We will need them before Dec. 15. Thanks so much for your help❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄!!! If donating, please drop off at the elementary office or have students take them to the 2nd grade teachers. Any extra mugs donated will be delivered to nursing homes in the community.

Santa picture notes went home today in backpacks. The note is front & back. Sibling pictures must have the note returned so we can schedule those. If a student in grades 5-12 wants a picture made, the parent will need to email Mrs. Burson at bursonc@parkerschapelschool.com. These will be packages similar to school pictures. Parents will have to use the QR code given to the student when the picture is made to view the pictures (should be 7 images) and place their online order. Pictures will be mailed to the home of the student. Anyone wanting to schedule a family photo shoot with Santa or anyone in the community wanting to schedule a time for a child that is not school age, will need to also email Mrs. Burson. Family and community photos will be scheduled 3:30-6:30. Please note this is the same day as the Christmas Parade. We did not have an option of another date. All students in Prek - 4th grade will have individual pictures made with no obligation to purchase.

Make Em Belive shirts are now available for purchase. You can get them at https://www.thesoutherntshirtcompany.com/shop/parkers-chapel/15. All proceeds will benefit the boys basketball team! #pcproud #makeembelieve
