SOAR Award
January: Respect
Each month Pine Run highlights one of our 5-character traits, Safe, Organized, Accepting, Respect, and Responsibility. Teachers then nominate students who exemplify the highlighted trait in the school setting. Each month a building-wide winner is announced, and they receive the SOAR Award and button. January's focus was on Respect. I am happy to announce that Mehran P. from Mrs. Dean's kindergarten class was our building-wide winner. Mrs. Dean stated that Mehan is always patient and polite. He speaks respectfully to his classmates and listens to others when it is their turn to share. We are so proud of Mehran.
Calling All Volunteers: NEW sign up links added
Our Fall events were a lot of fun and very well attended. In order for our winter and spring events to happen we need volunteers. You can volunteer for one event or many. There are different opportunities for each one. Some events involve time but many involve things you can do at home, such as organizing, baking, making, or collecting. Below is a list of upcoming events for which we still need volunteers. Please reach out to our HSA board members to get involved, pinerunelemhsa@gmail.com or sign up using the links below.
We can't do it without you!

Our Community
CB Farmer's Market at Barclay Elementary
No advanced sign-up is necessary. We kindly ask that you do not line up before 4:30 so as not to interfere with our student dismissal, and that you do not block our neighbors’ driveways. If you do line up during our student dismissal, you will be kindly asked to leave. Also, do not pull forward until you are certain that you have enough room and will not block someone’s driveway. Our neighbors are very understanding and supportive of our work, but also need to come and go during our events. We hope to see many families at our food distribution.
