Pine Lane Crew,
Good afternoon! Spring Break is here! And I cannot believe it. It was such a privilege to connect with many of you this week during conferences and to walk by classes to see and hear meaningful conversations about student learning!
I have several thank you’s to call out this week! First, thank you for your partnership as we seek to best meet the needs of each of your children! Thank you for your financial support of Pine Lane as we continue to raise funds for the turf on the South Playground. Our Silent Auction brought in over $10,000!!! Thank you to PTO and, especially Ashley, Hannah, and Hillary for all your effort!!! Thank you, too, to Amber and Holly and to all your helpers for coordinating our conference meals! We felt so valued and cared for by you all!
I am also so proud of our Crew for finishing this cold week strong. I got to see Kindergarteners writing full sentences starting with a capital letter and ending with a period and drawing pictures to match. On Monday, they also had a read-a-thon with guest readers. First grade is talking about potential careers and discerning whether or not the career path provided a good or a service. 3rd grade completed their biographies and they are posted all over the walls. 5th grade is working on researching “Athletes of Change” where they have studied the impact of athletes such as Jackie Robinson and Jim Abbott on their prospective sports and society. I’d also like to again congratulate our 5/6 Battle of the Books team for their tremendous achievement. Parker Regional Champions is a huge accomplishment and we are so proud of them!
I would also like to continue to request your help on our feedback on our survey. I currently have 54 responses and I would like to have more than 200 responses to ensure that we have an ample sampling of our families. If you have not done so yet please complete the survey linked here: Parent/Guardian Feedback Survey. We also need all of you to complete this survey indicating your intent to return to PIne Lane: Class Place Input and Intention to Return. There is also space in this survey for you to provide your input on what we should consider as we create our class lists for next year. Information from both of these surveys is critical to our planning process for the next year. Thank you very much for your help!
We wish you all an amazing spring break! We will see you back here on March 21st!
