PARKVIEW LEARNING CENTER
Walking School Bus
The weather on May 18 was perfect for Parkview's first Walking School Bus. All learners who ride the school bus either to the Middle School to meet their family there or who ride the bus all the way home or to daycare, WALKED to the middle school to catch their bus there that afternoon. We had assistance from the Mayville Police Department who helped supervise our street crossings. Members of the MHS “Be the Change” group and some of our Parkview staff helped by walking with the learners to the middle school. Finally we had members of the Blue Zones Project to help document our first walk with pictures and videos. Even the learners who do not ride the school buses took a neighborhood walk that afternoon with Mr. Sabol and Parkview staff.

PARKVIEW LEARNING CENTER AND MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS First Annual Fun Run
MAY 2018
The first annual PTA Fun Run held on May 4th, was a huge success! The event brought in over $17,500 in profit! This outstand-ing figure is evidence of the immense family and community support for our children and our schools! The event was inspired by the Blue Zones Project Dodge County initiative as a means to encourage learners to be physically active, as well as feel a sense of belonging and purpose in their school. This kind of fundraising also eliminates sharing the profit with a vendor so the
school benefits more by keeping all of the profit. Every child in grades K-5 participated during the school day event running as many laps as possible in a 20-minute time period. Prior to the event, learners set goals for the number of laps they hoped to accomplish and collected pledges from family members, friends, and neighbors. Pledge-givers had the option of donating a flat pledge or a per-lap pledge. On the day of the event, every child received a T-shirt to wear during the run. The front of the shirt, designed by fifth grader Lizzie Werner, included an image of Yoda along with our theme slogan “May the Fourth be with You.” The back of the T-shirt was full of the names and logos of the numerous local sponsors and a lap tracker for volunteers to mark each lap that the learner completed. The local sponsors who gave generously to support this event include: All Promotions, Metalcraft of Mayville, Northwest Ca-ble Construction, Glacier Hills Credit Union, Mayville Engineering Company (MEC), Agnesian Healthcare, Koepsell Funeral Homes, Lake Country Corporation, TSB Bank, Madden Vanderloop Law SC, Mountin’s Piggly Wiggly, Ruedebusch Beauty Bou-tique, New China Restaurant, Pattycakes Daycare, Kwik Trip, Nickel Carpentry, Wenninger Auto Sales, Mayville Savings Bank, RCI Engineering, and Impressions Salon. Although heavy rain and wet school grounds forced us to move the run indoors, the event was anything but downcast. Parkview learners circled the Parkview gym cheered on by Big Red. Middle School learners were encouraged by Mr. Cooney and the High School Pep Band. The success of this event is not only evident in the sponsorship and pledges raised, but also in the outpouring of volunteers who helped to tally laps, distribute snacks, count pledges, and organize all of the details leading up to the event. The funds raised will go toward continued support of promoting an active lifestyle for our learners, which begins on our school playgrounds. Every school year, needs exist for balls and jump ropes, as well as more permanent playground equip-ment, upkeep and management. These are items that are not covered by the school budget or by referendum dollars.

PARKVIEW LEARNING CENTER AND MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS (continued) Fun Run (continued) If you ask our learners what is their favorite part of the school day, many of them will reply “recess”. Although we may chuckle at that response, this time is as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic because of the physical, social, and cognitive ben-efits. Research supports that movement, which increases heart rate and circulation providing more oxygen to the brain, is ben-eficial to increasing learning and memory. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention* recommends that children and ado-lescents ages 6-19 have 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. According to their research, students who are physi-cally active tend to have better grades, school attendance, cognitive performance (e.g., memory), and classroom behaviors (e.g., on-task behavior). Students and faculty were asked to weigh-in on playground needs via a survey earlier this spring. Through that feedback, it be-came evident that opportunities exist on a larger scale to improve both the Parkview and Middle School playgrounds, with a more immanent focus on the Middle School due to the age and condition of the existing structure. This playground dates back to when the school was built twenty years ago. Although some pieces have been replaced, there is a larger opportunity to pro-vide updated equipment, a design which better utilizes the space, and most importantly, handicap accessibility to ensure that all of the district’s learners are able to enjoy the facility. The school district and the PTA are now working to form a committee of school and community representatives to work with professionals on potential playground designs and determine estimated costs to make changes. The progress of that committee will be shared with the community, district families, staff and students. It is anticipated that this will be a multi-year effort. To ensure that all students are able to see benefit from their efforts this year, new equipment will be provided at both schools in time for the 2018-19 school year using a portion of the funds raised. The remainder of the funds will be set aside in savings as the committee works toward the larger goal. Those interested in participating in the playground committee discussions are encouraged to reach out to [email protected] for additional information. *Source: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/physicalactivity/facts.htm

MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS GALS Institute The MMS 8th graders attended a full day workshop held at the Middle School. It was intended to give them helpful tools and skills to assist them as they prepare to make the transition to High School. The workshop was sponsored by a grant and facili-tated by the GALS Institute, LLC from Delafield, WI. Learners signed up for a conference style day with different sessions to customize their experiences. High School Learners from “Be the Change” group came down to help with the activities of the day and share their experiences of what high school is like.
