Pine Street Press

Pine Street families,

After our fun Halloween celebrations last week, it is hard to believe we are almost a third of the way through the school year already. Next Friday is the last day of the first Trimester and Monday, November 18th is the first day of the 2nd Trimester. We are excited to see all the progress our students are making already.

Next week, Monday, November 11th, Pine Street Elementary will be hosting our annual Veterans Day Assembly to honor all the Veterans in our community and in our lives. Parents, family and community are welcome to join this assembly which starts at 10:00 in the Pine Street gym.

As we begin the busy holiday season, the month of November is always a time to reflect on the things we are thankful for. As a staff we would like to pass along our thanks to each of you. Your partnership and support is greatly appreciated as we work together to help all our students succeed. Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving to our Pine Street students and families.

Your partner in education,

Robyn Robinson

Principal, Pine Street Elementary

Hand 2 Hand is a local organization that makes sure students who have food insecurities at home have something to eat over the weekend. The Pine Street Student Council is hosting a food drive to help them deliver even more food to more students in the area! If you have any non expired and non perishable canned goods, pastas, cereals, or food that can be appropriate for a student snack please send them in with your child.

Each month we recognize students for displaying positive behavior in their classroom and throughout Pine Street Elementary with our ROARS award, Recognizing Outstanding Achievement in Respect, Responsibility and Safety. The winners for the month of October are

Madison Bredin, Kennedy Lynch, Jaxson Horvath, Leo Smith, Elijah Barnum, Lexi Ramon, Eastin Modreske, JR Tilman, Rowan Augistin, Mila Goeree, Selina Haynes, Kaelynn Gortsema, Lily Wiersma, Everett Verhulst, Mariana Perez Martinez, Audra Kemp.

Our art room is on the lookout for donations of empty paper towel rolls! These simple materials can be transformed into amazing art projects and creative endeavors by our students. If you have any rolls to spare, we would greatly appreciate your contribution. Your support helps foster creativity and innovation in our classroom. Thank you for helping us bring art to life!

This month, students will be learning all about teamwork through their Capturing Kids' Hearts Leadworthy lessons. According to CKH, teamwork is the ability to work in unity with others towards a common a goal. For us to learn how to become team players, it is important that we learn to listen, encourage our peers, and to invite and allow others to contribute their talents and skills.

As the weather gets colder please remind your child to bring their cold weather gear! Unless it is significantly below freezing or raining the students will be going outside. It is highly encouraged that your child brings cold weather gear.

Please remember to send a healthy snack with your student every day! Students who don't have a snack often come to the office for one and our emergency resources are quickly dwindling.
