Good Afternoon Pine Lane Crew,
Tomorrow is our 50th Anniversary Celebration! We are so excited to see everyone tomorrow and celebrate our school’s rich legacy. We have many former students and staff planning on attending. We will have a scavenger hunt, Pine Lane Trivia, collaborative art projects, bounce houses, music, and food trucks. This will be an amazing time to reflect and stay, “Grounded in our roots. Pine Lane proud!
Next week on Wednesday , August 31s at 4:30 pm, we will hold our first SAC/PTO meeting. This meeting will be held in our Innovation Lab of our North building. This will be held in person. We are exploring some streaming options for those who cannot make it in. A special congratulations to Eric Woldeit who was elected for his 2nd term on SAC. We are thankful for all of our candidates willing to support our school in this role.
We had a phenomenal week and are truly getting into our instructional rhythms. Kindergarten had a lot of fun celebrating their annual Color Week. Grade levels have worked hard to decorate hallways highlighting the various decades. We held two assemblies hearing stories from former students and former staff members from Pine Lane's past.
Our fall fundraising is well underway. Thank you for your support of these efforts. Online sales are currently around $21,000. Our overall goal is $100,000. We are wanting to use these funds to update our students’ classroom furniture. The goal of $100,000 corresponds to the approximate cost to furnish 4 classrooms which would be one grade level. Please continue to encourage your child to talk to friends and family. If you would prefer to make straight donation, you can do that here: PLE Fall Fundraiser Donations
Thank you all for your help as we launch this year! Have an amazing weekend and I hope to see you all out tomorrow!
