Pine Lane Crew,  Yesterday, the Mars Rover Perseverance completed its over 120 million mile trip and successfully landed on Mars.  What a feat! And an exciting opportunity to learn about our world!  Ms. Spiller our STEM teacher has clipped a short video of the actual landing linked here, Mar Rover Landing.  This event causes me to pause and wonder about what our students will be attempting to do in 20 years as they launch into their careers. Our goal is that our efforts at PIne Lane will truly empower them toward excellence in character, achievement, and contribution to a better world, and I am confident that many of our Crew will be a meaningful part of innovation, leadership, and discovery.   Here are just a few reminders.  As we celebrate mankind extending its reach to Mars, please remember that we are looking for more entries into our PLE Online Science & Engineering Fair which will be held on March 25th.  We are also welcoming adult entries.  This Monday, February 22nd, at 6:30, there will be a virtual meeting held for our Pine Lane and Sierra Community regarding potential school boundary changes.  Here is the meeting link: PLE/SMS Boundary Meeting. We also have P/T conference rapidly approaching the week of March 8th. Also,  please continue to push our Spring Fundraiser by selling Parker Showcase Coupon Books.  We receive 50% of the proceeds from sales.   Lastly, I’d like to request your help in one area.  We have been able this semester to, by and large, stay in in-person learning.  We are hoping to continue this. Our ability to maintain adequate staffing and substitute staff is critical. If you are possibly able to become a substitute teacher or have some availability to become a substitute classified staff member (Education Assistant, Office Assistant, etc…) please reach out to me.  We have many our parent community already step up to help out in this capacity and it has been tremendously helpful.  As middle and high schools start to come back to in-person learning this may additionally stress our sub pool and we will likely be in need of more help. As always, thank you for your continued support of what we do at Pine Lane!  I am so grateful for our community!   Remember we are Pine Lane, and we are Crew!  Sincerely,  Chris Stairs Principal  Pine Lane Elementary
