A Message from Mrs. McMullan
Dear Pine Road Families,
Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner! We are excited to take this opportunity to show our incredible teachers just how much they mean to us.
Our teachers work hard every day to educate, support, and inspire our students. This special week is a chance for students and families to say “thank you” in big and small ways. Whether it's a kind note, a handmade card, or a thoughtful gesture, every bit of appreciation goes a long way.
Please see the calendar below for ways your family can help us celebrate! Teacher Appreciation Week will take place from May 5th to 9th.
Please note that the PTA is providing a complementary lunch to the Pine Road teachers and support staff on Thursday, May 8th. If you would like to donate to this event, please click here.
Thank you for all of your help in making this week special!
If you have questions, please contact me through email (kmcmullan@lmtsd.org) or phone (215-938-0290 ext. 6025).

Student of the Month
Congratulations to 1st grade student, Maxwell Hughes, for earning Pine Road's Student of the Month!
Our Pine Road Diversity and Engagement Committee is starting a new initiative to spotlight diversity at Pine Road! Starting this month, all K-3 students are invited to share about their culture, traditions, how they learn, and/or what makes them unique on Pine Road TV.
Interested students can sign up using this Google Form. After you sign up, our Committee will review your idea and email you with a link to create your video.
Once your video is submitted, it will be aired on Pine Road TV. We ask that all video entries be sent a week prior to the viewing. This is especially important if you are spotlighting a holiday you celebrate.
We are looking forward to learning more about each other and celebrating our differences!
Please save the date for two exciting 3rd grade transition events that will take place in June!
