Additionally, our 4th graders are studying land regions and turned what they know into actual landforms.

AND in PE, students were working together, practicing their best team work and cooperation as they used their addition fluency to race to 100 points. They did a great job and each group solved had their own unique way of achieving the goal.

Discovering Strengths and Pursuing Dreams is our vision at Pine Island Academy and continues to drive our work each and every day with students. Great things are happening at Pine Island and I truly appreciate all the support and love you continue to give to our amazing Staffulty.

We are Pine Island Academy - Home of the Dolphins!

With Much Gratitude,
