Students in Grades K-5 were treated to a theatre presentation today - ask them about it! |
"Lorraine Quiche is just about to realize her dream of opening her own restaurant. Unfortunately, her top chef, Chuck Wagon, has been wasting energy and now the power's gone out! Without electricity, she'll get a bad review from food critic Eggs Benedict Arnold! So Lorraine sets out to learn how to measure how much energy we use and how we can reduce the energy we waste. With the help of Horace Flyman, a sanitation engineer, and zookeeper Adam Grizzly, Lorraine learns how to use energy wisely and saves the day for her Kilowatt Kitchen."

Costa Rica March 2019!
Pine
Lake is offering its first language immersion tour to Costa Rica during our Spring Break in March 2019. To learn Spanish, it helps to fall in love with Costa Rica and this tour will make both happen by combining interactive language lessons with authentic cultural experiences. Each day has a theme - like sustainability, food, or youth culture - that connects lessons to hands-on activities and conversations with locals. Our fluency will expand along with our passion for the language. Join us as we learn and practice vocabulary relevant to each day's theme during interactive lessons.
Activities include: learning how to cook a traditional meal with a local chef and enjoying a homemade dinner with locals, appreciating breathtaking views on a zip-line canopy tour, spending a few hours alongside volunteers working at an eco-lodge, learning how to make crafts and jewelry from recycled materials as we chat with the artisans, visiting a Costa Rican school where we will interact with local students, harvesting our own vegetables in an organic farm, and learning about coffee production at a coffee plantation and processing facility. With each conversation students will gain more confidence in their ability to speak and listen. Our specially trained language immersion program director will be by our side through it all, helping along beginners and challenging the more advanced students. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will set your child apart!
This trip is for students in 9th through 12th Grade, 2018-19 school year.
Parents may also join us on this adventure.
If you are interested please attend our informational meeting on Monday, October 2nd at 7pm in the Upper School - room # 108.

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do!
Our athletics teams are ALL turning in strong performances, and beyond the wins, it's awesome to see the support they give each other. Coach Deffenbaugh, who coaches MS Volleyball, challenged MS Football running back, John Long, that if he rushes so many yards or get two touchdowns a game, John would get to cut a strip in his hair. Coach D made good on his promise.
