Principal's Message
Hello Pinckney Family!
Today we were thrilled to host the KU Cheer Squad and Baby Jay for our Friday Morning Opener. We taught them our school song, chanted along with them to KU anthems, and (most importantly) rewarded our Pinckney Promise winners for the week.
I am so glad we have been able to revamp this tradition and celebrate our students!
PACERs Back in Action
Thanks to our amazing PTO members, we are restarting our PACERS student-running club. Our goal is to begin this on Monday, September 26th right after school. We plan on doing this on Mondays after from 3:05-3:30 (pausing during the Winter months) and possibly Wednesdays from 1:40- 2:10. If you are interested in your student taking part, please fill out this google form:
We would love to add volunteers to provide supervision for our runners. Please let us know if you are interested in helping out, even if just occasionally.
"Rally Cart"
Because we know that our educators work so hard here at Pinckney and at times need a little pick-me-up, I would like to stock a "rally cart" that includes drinks and treats for teachers. The idea behind this is to have an unannounced visit to their classroom where they can choose from a selection of treats to pep up their day. If you would like to contribute to this, feel free to donate any of the following: Sodas (diet/regular), Sparkling Water, chocolate, chips, anything caloric really.
Thanks to those of you who brought things in to donate this week. Our teachers appreciated being treated this Friday afternoon!
