Pine Hollow Middle School
Pine Hollow News: February 16, 2021
Dear Parents,
I hope you had a nice long weekend, and enjoyed Valentine's and Presidents' Day as well! As we move into the latter half of the 3rd Quarter, I want to honor the great work you and your kids have done for so many months at home. I honestly know this isn't easy, and I certainly understand the problems it has caused for so many. But please keep encouraging your kids to do their best, engage in class as much as possible, and make every effort to complete their work. Since we're not sure when we will be back to school, your positivity, your encouragement, and your acknowledgement of their efforts will greatly help your kids stay focused, engaged, and motivated (even if they don't express it). Thank you, have a great week, and feel free to reach out to me if you need anything at all. Sincerely,
Ben Campopiano
Principal, Pine Hollow Middle School
