Pine Lane Crew,

I am so thankful for Chaparral High School and the Continental League’s work to promote kindness this week. These efforts have lifted my spirits as our students engaged in each day’s theme, wore fun clothes, dressed up as their teacher, spread kind notes, and reflected on how kindness contributes to a better world. I hope that our Crew continues this theme of kindness throughout the rest of the school year and that we all might strive to be the “I” in kind.

One way that you can show kindness as a family is by contributing to the DCSD Perseverance Scholarship. Each year DCSD awards a scholarship to a student from each of DCSD highschool who have overcome significant challenges. These stories are truly inspirational. If you are interested in contributing see this link: Perseverance Scholarship. On this site you can also see the stories of our award recipients from last year.

Each spring we ask for your help in providing us with your perception on how we are doing as a school to meet your child’s needs. We’d really appreciate it if each family completed this survey to ensure that all voices are represented. Our Building Leadership Team and School Accountability Committee review this data and makes recommendations for continued improvements to our instructional program. Please complete the following survey at your earliest convenience: 2020-21 Parent/Guardian Feedback Thank you for your collaboration in this effort.

Please remember that next week we are holding our Spring P/T Conferences. I hope that you all are squared with an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher. If you have not yet signed up, please see this spreadsheet for your child’s teacher’s availability: Conference Sign Up.

Enjoy the wonderful weather we have forecasted for this weekend!

Sincerely,

Chris Stairs

3rd Grade Service Project March 1st - 12th

Spare Change Drive

3rd grade is planning a service project for March 1-12. They will be doing a Spare Change Drive to work with Heifer International in order to purchase goats for families in need in an African country. The 3rd grade teachers are introducing the project to their students with the book Beatrice's Goat. The grade that donates the most spare change WINS!

THANK YOU PINE LANE COMMUNITY FOR YOUR SUPPORT

As a prize, the grade that donates the most spare change would get to name the goat(s) that we are able to purchase! The winner will be announced Friday before spring break. 3rd grade was able to purchase three goats for families in need last year by selling popcorn, and are hoping to be able to purchase even more this year! All your child needs to participate in this fun service project is spare change! There will be containers in the lunchroom each day labeled for each grade.
