Lyrics to the Park Hill Song - click to see lyrics
We are the Park Hill Panthers
We reach for the star
And we are going far
We are the future and we
Like what we see
We control our destiny
With our eyes straight ahead
Our feet on the ground
We'll lead the way
'Cause we're college bound
Park Hill (clap clap)
What are you waiting for
1 2 3 4 let's ROAR!

Directions for getting your Field Day picture to Mrs. Horeis
Mrs. Horeis plans to make an iMovie for each grade of the Field Day events. There are about 700 kids at Park Hill, so it is a lot to manage. I need your help. Please only send ONE picture. Label it with the grade and name – 4th Sally. I will post the iMovie on YouTube as unlisted, so only those with a link can see it. If you do not want that on YouTube, please do not send the picture.
Directions for getting the picture to Mrs. Horeis
1. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mDDY7OGmXXOIjo4jJH47ttUnljRmehFG
2. Double click on your child’s grade to open it up
3. In the upper left hand corner, click on New +
4. It will allow you to browse your computer
5. Click on the File to Upload
6. Done
If you do not have access to google drive, you can email me. Google Drive is preferable so I do not have to open 700 emails, and download each individual picture and save it. But if you do not have Google Drive, by all means, send it in an email, Kitty_horeis@dpsk12.org.
As soon as I have completed a grade’s iMovie of Field Day, I will send the link to your child’s teacher to share with their class. I will also upload them onto the Field Day page. https://sites.google.com/dpsk12.net/phspecials/home/pe/field-day
Parents, thank you for all you do for your kids!
Take care,
Mrs. Horeis
