“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
― Mark Twain
This quote may optimize the wish that many parents have for their children’s future. Some of you may be fortunate enough to feel that way about your own career. Finding that ideal job is the challenge and for our children it is often a matter of “trying things on” to see what fits. The link below shares interesting looks at how people feel about the work they do. Although many of the videos may be more appropriate for older students, some could be fun for the younger ones such as Kite Designer or Experimental Film and Stop Motion Animator.
Perhaps take a few minutes over the upcoming school break and watch some of these with your sons and daughters. Ask them what they think, and listen. You both may learn something about “a job you enjoy doing.”

iRun for Life
iRun for Life
iRun4Life is looking for a fun, energetic person to be the Pine Run iRun4Life School Director! After 2 crazy years of Covid, we need to get our children outside again running with their friends!
iRun4Life’s mission is to help combat childhood obesity through our inclusive, after school noncompetitive running program for boys and girls. Training is for 8 weeks immediately after school for 1 hour starting in the spring. Training includes warm up exercises, fun relay races, endurance runs and cool down exercises. The School Director would organize the teams, training and healthy snacks. All training materials, healthy snack suggestions, guest speaker ideas, and Gives Back Program information are on the iRun4Life portal, and can be customized to fit your school’s needs.
On Jan. 20, 2022, there is an annual iRun4Life School Director meeting where you will learn everything you need to know to organize a successful iRun4Life running program. And the iRun4Life School Outreach Director, Nikolai Derek, is there to help you- and assist you in anything you may need!
This volunteer position is a great way to help Pine Run’s elementary school children learn to love running, exercise and eating healthy. And you do Not need to be a runner to volunteer!
If you are interested in joining the awesome iRun4Life School Director team, please contact Judy Wexler at Judy@iRun4Life.com .

Student Directory
Our Pine Run Student Directory is now available for your use. It can be located on our Pine Run Website under Parent Resources, or by clicking here.
This is a locked document. If you did not receive the Pine Run Student Directory Access Code please contact the office.
All students, staff members, and visitors are required to wear face coverings while inside our school building and on school buses. This was a result of the Order of the Acting Secretary and the new Health and Safety Plan, which was approved by the CBSD Board of Education on August 31, 2021.
Individuals, including students, staff, parents, and all visitors, who wish to request a mask exception must carefully review and submit the Central Bucks School District’s face covering exemption form. NO other form will be accepted for reason of exemption from the face-covering order. Please send the signed hard copy form to school with your child if they will not be wearing a mask.
I encourage all families to have a conversation with their child around the topic of face coverings. Each child should understand proper mask-wearing behaviors, as well as your family's personal expectations. My hope is that it will ensure students are following the directive of their parents while also following the procedures and guidelines put in place for all.
Please know teachers and staff will provide gentle reminders, to those students wearing masks, to keep them fitted correctly, covering the mouth and nose and not under their chin.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we move forward.
