Principal's Prose
Dear Parents,
We at Pine Run Elementary are very proud of the academic achievement of our students. Test scores confirm that you are sending us children with a great deal of background knowledge and a desire to be successful in school. While a large amount of time and energy is spent on academic pursuits at Pine Run, we also provide programing which addresses the needs of the whole child. Our slant toward the Whole Child can be seen in the character traits we work to instill. The following is a list of some of the positive attitudes and behaviors we seek to promote in our children as they grow.
- Understanding of and appreciation for self
- Understanding of and appreciation for people belonging to all social, cultural, and ethnic groups
- An active curiosity
- Habits and attitudes which define responsible citizenship
- Good health practices and an understanding of the conditions necessary for maintaining physical and emotional well-being
- Creativity that can be expressed in more than one field
- Recognizing and taking advantage of the many opportunities open to him or her
- Awareness and respect for human achievement in the natural sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and the arts
- Abilities and skills necessary to navigate a world of rapid change and unforeseeable demands
- A desire for continuous learning throughout adult life
With your help and support, we will continue to nurture academic, social and emotional growth in our children. By collaboratively supporting the whole child, we are promoting well-roundedness that can benefit a lifetime!
