Hello Puma Families,
We hope you've had a solid week back from Thanksgiving break. We are looking for a solid couple of weeks of learning with a bit of fun.
We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the Pancake Breakfast and Holiday Vendor Fair. The Pancake Breakfast proceeds support the 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony and could use your support! Have some yummy pancakes for $5.00 a person!
Lastly, as we've done with many holidays, we'd like to wish Happy Chanukah to all those that celebrate!
Pumas That Pounce
We'd like to "give a shout out" to the Holiday Shop Volunteers this week! They've been tremendous as they work with students to give them an authentic shopping experience. Also, thanks to the Pancake Breakfast volunteers - the students and parents have worked very hard to prepare for the event. Also, we'd like to highlight program teacher Ms. Kelsey Speer! She's new to Pinebrook but has been incredible in helping colleagues and finding ways to increase the experiences for her students. And, we'd like to thank teacher assistant Stephanie Geier for being driven to help her students. Kudos to all!

Remember, when you come to school...
- When you come to school, it's essential to be in the habit of three things:
- Make an appointment
- Have your ID;
- Have your phone, especially if you are tardy, picking up, or returning a child to school, as we use an electronic form to record the child's return. You will access the form via a QR code scanned by your phone.
