PAWZ is proud to announce that City Park repped the PAW at the recent 63rd Annual Student Arts Expo at the Creative Arts Guild! City Park took home first place in the Oscar N. Jonas Foundation Art Together Collaborative Award for grades 3-5, and Enzo Paniagua took home third place for his individual project. Way to go!

World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated globally each year on March 21 (3/21). The date represents Trisomy 21, the genetic condition that causes Down syndrome, where individuals have three copies of the 21st chromosome instead of two.

Since March 21 falls on a Saturday this year, PAWZ would love for our school to celebrate on Friday, March 20 by participating in the “Lots of Socks” tradition. Students and staff are encouraged to wear bright, colorful, or mismatched socks to celebrate differences and show support for individuals with Down syndrome.

The reason socks are used is because chromosomes can resemble the shape of socks. The extra chromosome in Trisomy 21 is represented by wearing fun or mismatched socks to spark conversations and raise awareness.

Celebrating this day helps promote inclusion, understanding, and appreciation for the abilities and uniqueness of all students.  One of our own City Park family members is featured on the graphic below. 

Thank you for helping celebrate and support such a wonderful community of learners.  Please contact Ms. Chesni Collins for more information or to share your photos at chesni.collins@dalton.k12.ga.us

PAWZ is proud to partner with the Latin American Association to offer the Soccer and Success Club for third grade students.  Practice will begin again on Monday, March 9th, from 3:40-4:40.  Please contact teacher Jacey Pina with any questions.  A Rooms messaging group has been set up for this club. Please see the image below for practice dates. 

Please note:  this soccer club is different from the City Park Soccer Team that will compete in the DPS Elementary Soccer Championship on Thursday, March 19.  

City Park Elementary Presents: Imagine a Dragon! 

The dragon is back in town… or is it? Join us for Imagine a Dragon, a delightful and heartwarming musical adventure filled with humor, bravery, and an epic folk-rock score! In this charming tale, a ragtag group of innkeepers invents a dragon story to save their struggling inn — but when unexpected heroes, princesses, and townsfolk arrive ready to prove their courage, the truth may be harder to hide than they imagined. Along the way, everyone discovers there may be more than one way to save the day.

Our talented student performers have been working hard to bring this magical story to life, and you won’t want to miss it!
