Dear Patriot Families,

It has always been my commitment to the Pine View families that we only have one fundraiser each school year. We don’t sell cookie dough, magazines, and all the other trinkets, instead we have one fundraiser which we fondly call our “Run for Funds.” This annual event is a week of fundraising, culminating in "PVES Run for Funds" run during the school day.

Our Specials Teachers organize the event, and all proceeds stay at Pine View. No fund raiser company takes a portion of the money raised. The money is used to directly impact students; we purchase technology, classroom supplies, and subsidize field trips. This year our event is February 11. Please look for detailed information to come home on Friday, February 4. Your generous support makes a big difference in what we are offer at Pine View.

Thank you,

Mrs. Moore

Invisible to the eye, soothing to the heart. Acts of kindness don’t need to be seen to be appreciated. We call these ‘unnoticed’ acts . . . ninja-style acts of Kindness.

Ninja’s are sneaky, they are masters of their craft, observant and determined. True Kindness Ninja’s carry out acts of Kindness without seeking recognition.

Our theme this year is, I’m a Kindness Ninja.

Join us in celebrating Kindness Week and Run for Funds by participating in these dress up days.

It's that time of year, our annual Run for Fun fundraiser will kick-off on Friday, February 4th. Our goal this year is to raise $25,000 and have 100% participation. Remember this money goes directly back to students.

On February 11th, students will participate in a PVES Run at school.

Stay tuned for more information coming home with students on February 4th.

Gifted students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade are learning about Florida history, including the elements of tourism, space, Native Americans, the influence of Flagler and tourism in our state. They are working with their teachers and Mrs. Heidi Smith, our District Gifted Resource Teacher, to learn all aspects of their part in the project. After research is complete, they will create a visual display to be shared with the school.

Parents, please make sure you bring your driver’s license into the front office when signing out your student. Office staff will be asking you to present your license when signing your student out of school. This procedure is in place to ensure the safety of all students. We thank you for your understanding and compliance.

IB Learner Profile: Caring

The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are caring. Students who are CARING show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. They have a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment. They remember to treat others how they themselves would like to be treated.

IB students tell us they bring this commitment to community and others to their activities and leadership roles at university and carry it throughout their lives.

How can parents help to develop students who are CARING?

• Start by practicing empathy. Model the caring behavior you would like to see in your child. Your child notices everything you do! Using kind words, helping others and being an active listener will show your child that you care about other people.
• Help your child consider the feelings of others. Ask, "What do you think she's upset about?" "How would you feel if that happened to you?"
• Read books that demonstrate caring and kindness. Discuss the message of the story and how it can be applied in your every day lives. Ask, "What are some things we can do to show kindness?" "Is there anyone we know that could use some extra caring right now?"
• Brainstorm ways your family can get involved in the community. Send cards to residents of a local nursing home. Donate food, clothing or toys to those in need. Place inspiring quotes around the neighborhood for others to see.
• Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Sometimes this can be challenging for busy families, but make an effort to establish these habits in your home. By developing children who care about the environment, you are helping the future of the globe.
• Emphasize social skills like saying please, thank you, sharing with siblings and recognizing when others may be having a difficult day.
• Smile
