April 2018
From the Principal's Desk...
Can you believe it's April? Things are on the move here at Pine Island! A lot of exciting things happened here last month-- book fair, parent/teacher conferences, and reading month activities. As I watched the support from the families, I was truly amazed. It reminded me (what I already knew)-- YOU are FANTASTIC! We really are blessed with a GREAT bunch of parents. Thank you for your continued effort to make Pine Island a wonderful place to work!
