Pine Street School held its annual Spelling Bee on January 29th, and we are excited to announce the winners! Fifth grader Emmet Katje claimed the title of Spelling Bee Champion, with fellow fifth grader Lorelei Miller finishing as the Runner-Up. The top four spellers from the competition—Phoebe Snyder, AJ Winters, Emmet Katje, and Lorelei Miller—will move on to represent Pine Street at the Allegan County Spelling Bee on February 25th. We wish them the best of luck as they prepare for this exciting competition!
Recorders
Hello Pine Street Family,
The 4th Graders will be playing the recorder in music class in a few weeks. I will be able to give you an exact date once I know when they will be available on RevTrak, so please watch for this in Infinite Campus email. Please be sure your child comes to music class on their day of the week with the book Be a Recorder Star by Macie Publishing, and a recorder once this is underway. You will be able to purchase these from the school by going to the website waylandunion.org. Scroll down near the bottom and you will find the RevTrak store. Choose Elementary Schools, Pine Street and you will find the option to buy a recorder, a book, or both. The cost is $4.95 for a recorder, $5.95 for a book, or $7.95 for a package of both. It is fine to purchase your own recorder, but please do not buy a toy recorder such as those found at a dollar store. It is also okay for students to use a sibling's Be as Recorder Star book.
The 5th Graders will also be playing the recorder in music class also after their musical on March 4th. It will not be necessary for them to bring a book. If they do need a recorder you can purchase these from the school by going to the website waylandunion.org. Scroll down near the bottom and you will find the RevTrak store. Choose Elementary Schools, Pine Street and you will find the option to buy a recorder, a book, or both. 5th grade students only need a recorder. The cost is $4.95 for a recorder. It is also fine to purchase your own recorder, but please do not buy a toy recorder such as those found at a dollar store.
These materials are not available on RevTrak yet, but will be soon. Once it is up and running, you will receive an email with more details and an exact date that these materials will be needed in class. Thank you.
Mrs. Oostdyk
