TV ADS
GOOD JOB!
YOUR AD HERE
CONGRATULATIONS!
Parkview has a TV located on the west wall by the display cases in Central Park.
It is used for announcements of upcoming events and general information for the school.
The screen changes continually throughout the day showing each event many times. We
allow you the opportunity to place an “ad” for your child that will run on Wednesdays. This is
used as a fundraiser for the PTO. The ad will cost $5.00 and will include a picture of your
child (after the pictures are taken if they are in kindergarten or new to Parkview), their
first name and a short message from you!
The PTO funds many things for Parkview including playground equipment and toys, field
trips and sound systems for the classroom teachers so the money will be used for your children at Parkview in some way.
If you would like to place an ad fill out the form on the bottom half of this flyer and send it,
with $5.00, to the Parkview office at least two days before the ad will appear.
Thank you, Parkview PTO.
