Join PAWS for the Annual Holiday Shop! We will be open from Monday, December 8 through Friday, December 12. Shop hours are 8:00-3:00 daily in the media center (we will close at 12:30 on Friday) .

Students are encouraged to bring their money in an envelope or ziploc bag.  

Our Holiday Gift Shop Program makes it possible for children to experience the joy of choosing their own special holiday gifts for family and friends. We believe this program will create wonderful memories for our students while teaching them to budget their money and make their own decisions. There will be a large variety of gifts in different price ranges to choose from. Imagine the fun they will have suprising a loved one with a “secret” gift they bought...all by themselves! 

🎄✨ PAWliday Spirit Dress-Up Days Are Coming December 15-19! ✨🎄

City Park families—get ready to celebrate the season with some festive fun! Each day has its own special theme, and we can’t wait to see our students’ creativity and holiday cheer shine bright. From cozy wear to wacky wear, it’s going to be a joyful week full of smiles, spirit, and togetherness!

These special dress-up days were thoughtfully chosen by our fourth and fifth grade Student Council, with the goal of building positive school culture and camaraderie across our campus. We are so proud of their leadership and excitement for bringing our school together this season! ❄️

Check out the flyer for all the details, and help your child join in on the fun each day. Let’s make this PAWliday season magical at City Park! 

Thursday, December 18, promises to be an exciting day at the 405! At 5:30 PM, our Glee Club will inaugurate our Family Science Night with a delightful holiday concert and sing along.

Kindergarten and1st Grade will perform Jingle Bells, 2nd and 3rd Grades will perform Elfie Selfie.  All of our grades will sing Feliz Navidad together--we encourage everyone to attend this interactive show! 

Following the concert, PAWS will provide hot chocolate and sweet treats in our cafeteria. Families will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and engage in enjoyable, hands-on science activities.

To prepare our students for this engaging Science Night, PAWS will host two science-themed assemblies during the school day on Thursday, presented by The Science Zone. 

Our K-2 grades will participate in the assembly at 9:00 AM, and our grades 3-5 will attend at 10:00 AM.

This assembly is made possible through our media center, funded by proceeds from our recent Scholastic Book Fair and the upcoming FUN Services Holiday Shop. PAWS appreciates the support of all who participated in these events, as the profits directly benefit all of our City Park Panthers!

Friday, December 19 will be an early dismissal day.  Students will be released at 12:15 PM.  Please remember that there is no ASP on early dismissal days. 

We will have our PAWS and Claus Pep Session at 9:00 AM on this date.  We will recognize our PAWSitive Panthers for December at this time.  Parents of those students being recognized will be invited to attend.  Entrance for this event will be through the GYM lobby.  

Fifth grade will be selling holiday spirit items just in time for our PAWS and Claus Pep Session.  All items will be $1 and will be available before school during the week of December 15-19. We ask for cash only, small bills. 

Compassion is more than kindness — it’s the ability to understand, care for, and act to support others. When students learn compassion, they build stronger friendships, create inclusive spaces, and develop empathy that lasts a lifetime. This month, we invite our school community to look for moments to show care through words, actions, and attention.

As winter weather settles in, please remember to dress your child in layers and ensure they have appropriate clothing for outdoor recess (e.g., jackets, hats, gloves, etc).

It is a great idea to write your child’s name on all items!
