Pine Lane Crew,
Such an amazing week at Pine Lane! We had the Denver Zoo out for an in school field trip. We together celebrated KIF1A Awareness Day by wearing our Super Hero Gear. Wednesday, we also hosted a satellite site for the district wide ELD Celebration with over 80 folks joining us in our North Gym. It continues to be assessment season and our students have worked hard on their end of year iReady Assessment.
One of the most exciting things this week is our unique Habit of Character Assembly led by 4th grade. They had the character trait Service which we define this way, “We help others. We do this not for ourselves but for the greater good. We contribute to the welfare of others through meaningful efforts from the heart.” This is a great trait to end on in this work as we pursue our mission to empower excellence in character, achievement, and contribution to a better world.
4th grade through a video (Service Video Linked Here) challenged each class to serve Pine Lane this morning. Thank you 4th grade for your leadership and our Crew for the ways you served our Pine Lane Crew today. It was so great to see our entire Crew working toward a common goal!
Please continue to pay attention to our communication. The year only gets faster from here and with that I am sure is the inundation of information into your inboxes. Here are a few highlights to keep in the forefront of your mind. Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! A huge thank you to our PTO and Student Council for all your hard work in making sure our staff knows they are appreciated. I encourage you all to take a moment with your child to thank their teacher. We have some amazing teachers and I am so proud of the investment they make each day in our students' lives. On Wednesday, next week we are holding Kindie Orientation starting at 5:30 pm, and, on Thursday, we have our Spring Math Literacy Night starting at 5:00 pm. We will have food trucks available for you as a dinner option.
Lastly, we have one last SAC/PTO Meeting being held on May 18th. I will be presenting information pertaining to the need for a Bond and MIL, end of year school performance data. We will also be voting on next year’s PTO Executive Board and presenting potential members for our School Accountability Committee (SAC). The vote for SAC members will occur in the fall. Also, mark your calendars for May 19th. Next year we hope to do a better job welcoming and organizing parent volunteers. On May 19th during the school day (time still to be determined), we will be holding an informational meeting to share with you the vision of what we would like to build with you.
Enjoy the weekend!
