February Newsletter
Message from the Principal
Dear Peine Families,
I would like to welcome everyone back from the winter break and hope that all were able to enjoy the time to relax and participate in some memorable activities with family and friends. As we move into the second half of the 2015-2016 school year, we want to welcome any families who are new to Peine and trust that you will find yourselves to be part of an outstanding and supportive learning community.
I would like to thank each Peine Panther for their commitment to being respectful, responsible, and safe every day. Their attendance, grades, and positive behavior are to be celebrated!
I also want to thank the staff with whom I have the honor to work with each day. Those who work with your children are dedicated to building caring relationships with them and implementing strategies that lead to their success.
In closing, we want to thank all of our families for all that you do in supporting our students and teachers as we look forward to an outstanding second semester here at Peine!. Your support and involvement are amazing. Thank you for your support at home and involvement at school.

100 Days
Peine Ridge students are 100 days smarter today! (January 25, 2016) Kindergarten students have been busy making projects that use 100 items to celebrate the 100 days of school.
Josephine Soberg asked friends and family to donate to a glove drive and collected 100 pairs of gloves. There was an overwhelming response and she collected 150 pairs!

Peine Ridge Science Fair
The science fair is scheduled for February 24 and 25, 2016. The purpose of the Science Fair is to promote individual study, initiative, and achievement. Students are expected to assume as much responsibility for the project as possible.
Projects will be judged in the following categories:
- Topic (is it creative, interesting, and age appropriate)
- Appearance of display (attractive and neat)
- Scientific presentation (problem, hypothesis, procedures, results, and conclusion)
- Grammar, punctuation, and spelling
To make Science Fair projects easier to complete, we will be selling display boards for $5.50 in room C17. These boards meet Regional Fair requirements and are easy to assemble. The project boards will not be required for the displays or collections that are not judged.
If you would like your child to participate and need an information booklet of rules and instructions, please fill out a registration form and return it to your child's teacher by Friday, February 19, 2016.

Box Tops and Campbell's Soup Labels
Thanks to all who send in labels and for helping to prepare the labels for shipment. The money received from the labels has been used on library activities, book purchases, counselor activities with kids in need, and small equipment. We typically average a little over a $1,000 a year, but would like to hit $2,000 this year. Please help us by saving your labels and dropping them off in the large Campbell Soup bin in the front of the school.
Thank you so much for your support!
