Pine Lane Crew,

2nd quarter is underway and we have hit the ground running. 5th grade had an amazing field trip to the Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield, Candy Wars is wrapping up, and tomorrow is our Annual Fall Festival hosted by our amazing Pine Lane Educational Alliance. Tomorrow, we are also celebrating excellence in character at our 2nd Pawsitive Bear Assembly that will be focusing on Leadership.

We do have a couple of upcoming events for you to be aware. Next week Sierra Middle School will be holding a virtual informational night to share SMS Expansion Information Night. To be fully informed on what this might look like should the bond measure 5A pass, I would strongly encourage you to attend this meeting. Here is the information for that meeting:

Wednesday, Oct. 30 @ 6:15 pm

Use this link to join virtually - Google meet link

Call in by dialing 1-424-379-1354‬ with PIN: ‪632 056 047#‬

We are also seeking to support families in needs this year by raising money through Friday Spirit Day’s. Tomorrow is hat day and each subsequent Friday we will have a fun theme. Please send your child with $2 to participate in those efforts. We are so grateful for your support of our Crew.

Have an amazing weekend and we look forward to seeing many of you at Fall Festival!

Sincerely,

Chris Stairs

Principal
