DISCOVERING STRENGTHS AND PURSUING DREAMS

Dolphin Families,


Thank you for supporting Red Ribbon Week. We had so much fun last week. We ended the week as a Pine Island family making our youngest Dolphins, our Kindergarten friends, feel like celebrities. It is in these moments that we continue to build our culture and truly become a family, from our kindergarten students to our middle school students. It will be an experience our Kindergarten students never forget, especially running through the tunnel that our middle school students made for them as their final walk before heading back into to the school.



On the horizon Pine Island families is Veteran's Day. Please make sure you have read the information below. We want to make sure everyone is included.


It is going to be another fantastic week at Pine Island where every day we are "Discovering Strengths and Pursuing Dreams"


Most Appreciative,

Mrs. Riedl
