Pine Street Yearbook
Have you ordered your yearbook yet for this year?
Reminder from the Library
It’s that time of the year when we say goodbye to snow and welcome all the signs of spring. While you are spring cleaning, please keep an eye out for any library books from Pine Street Elementary.
National Volunteer Week takes place April 27 to May 4. On behalf of the Board of Trustees at Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), I want to say a giant thank you to all EIPS volunteers. This year’s theme is Volunteers Make Waves, and that’s certainly true in our Division. No matter whether you’ve chaperoned a field trip, helped out at a hot lunch day or provided support in a classroom—every time you’ve stepped in a school—you’ve made a ripple effect that washes over your community. These waves of positivity, hard work and dedication build up and make a momentous impact on a student’s experience at school.
So, thank you again for being a part of our ocean at EIPS. The waves you’ve made—and will continue to create—all contribute to our collective goals of ensuring learning and working environments sustain student learning and amplifying the importance of public education in our province. This National Volunteer Week, I encourage everyone to celebrate the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours put into supporting student growth and achievement at schools across the Division.
Cathy Allen Chair, EIPS Board of Trustees

Join us on May 5 as we recognize and thank our school bus operators for keeping the safety of our students their first priority. We encourage you, and your children, to take a moment to say thanks to our bus operators—who go above and beyond to provide safe and timely transportation to our students.
On behalf of Pine Street THANK YOU to all of our school bus operators for a job well done.
We will be having our bottle drive to fundraise for Fit Kids, Friday, May 23, starting at 3pm at the Pine Street school parking lot. In April, students will be coming home again with a blue bag and details on prizes. As a parent council, to continue with the Fit Kids program, we need to fundraise 7,000 annually to cover the instructor time. As in prior years, parents can contribute through bottle donations, cash donations on the website through Healthy Hunger, or if you are part of a corporation that donates to registered charities or an individual that would like to donate, Elk Island Public School will provide a registered charity receipt for you for income tax purposes.
More details will continue to be posted on the Bear’s Blog, so please check it out!
