Pine Island Families,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you Pine Island families for providing the support, energy and dedication it takes to raise our students in a high-quality learning environment. The work is fierce and the demands that we are placing on our students is unlike those that have been made in the past. 

During this time of year, I find myself incredibly thankful for the people that are part of our Pine Island family - our students, our staffulty, our families, our bus drivers, our substitutes, our amazing PTO, as the list could go on and on and on - for we know it takes a village and beyond to pour into the lives of our students each and every day!

Pine Island is a great place to call home, a place that represents and accepts ALL learners, a place that cherishes family, a place that challenges themselves to become more equipped with the skills and knowledge to provide a rigorous learning environment that meets the needs of ALL learners.

My greatest joy is PIA is a place of love and compassion; that regardless of the needs of students, stands firm on the notion that we meet every need of every student every day.

Thank you for embracing the work our staffulty does each and every day, as it truly is the hardest career choice ever made, to serve not only our students and their families! We are grateful for your support and absolutely love serving our students!

Many thanks and blessings to you and your family during this holiday season!!!

Thankfully,

Mrs. Riedl
