Pine Ridge Weekly
November 11
Great seeing you last week!
Good Afternoon Ranger Families,
It was so good to see you last week during conferences to discuss growth!
Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served on our Country's behalf! We are looking forward to our Veteran's Day Luncheon tomorrow during our regular lunch periods. This is the 14th Annual Luncheon and we appreciate all of you that have donated for the food, decorating, etc.
Winter Gear/Recess: So we are now in that part of the year that many kids have bags for their bags! Winter gear is more easily transported, most of the time, if it is in a separate bag from the backpack. Please label everything (hat, mittens, gloves, scarves, coat, etc.)! If there is snow on the ground, students will need snow pants and boots to leave the sidewalk for recess.
It is almost time for our Annual Ranger Breakfast. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th from 8 - 10 am for waffles and a great time for the whole family. We will need volunteers to support the breakfast. Sign up genius is coming soon.
Important Items:
- Please remember to call the school when your child will be late or absent. 616-493-8910, option #1. Thank you!
- The office is in need of size 5 - 6 pants or leggings. If you have extras you would like to donate and items will be appreciated. No jeans, please.
Have a fantastic week!
Tamasha

Holiday Support For Families
As we approach the holiday season (or even now), we want to make you aware that our school community is contacted yearly by a number of very generous donors/groups who offer their support to families in need. While it may seem early, these groups are already gathering names so they can prepare for the upcoming season. If our school can help to connect you with one of these types of supports please reach out to Mrs. Kathy Wittland, our school counselor, to share your needs confidentially. She can be reached at kwittland@fhps.net.
