Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Hero Squad Program
Not only did you help us reach our goal in supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society but we CRUSHED it! As of today our online donations totaled $4,715.00, that is more than two times what we set out to achieve. This is truly amazing. We are so proud to be a part of a kind and generous community. What a way to end Kindness Week! We will report our grand total including check and cash donation in next week's Post.
Sparks: Article #4
One of the first steps to selecting a career is to become aware of the many options available. In Central Bucks schools, our students begin that process through the Career Readiness related curriculum in elementary buildings (QUEST, Economics Project in Social Studies) and secondary buildings (Success Plan, Information Technology classes).
Here are two videos which might inspire that search for just the right career. Watch them with your children and listen to what they say about what they see in their future.

What to know about streaming at Pine Run
There seems to be some confusion about when and how students stream instruction when they are unable to attend school in-person. I want to help, if I can, to clarify the expectation.
- Streaming is for prolonged illness and COVID related absences. This could include:
- Waiting for test results
- Close contact
- Positive case
- Required quarantine
- It is not for while the child is ON vacation
- It is not for a one or two day “cold” absence
- It may not start on day 1 of your child's time at home
Many teachers will need to take that first day to prepare materials and links for your child, while some may already be streaming. Please be patient with your child's teacher and front office as we navigate the many unique circumstances we are faced with each day with each new situation.
Thank you
We are very excited to announce that our Spring 2021 iRun4Life running program is available through our free iRun4Life App. Now, more than ever, it is important to motivate your kids to be healthy, and offer them fun and engaging exercise options they can do safely at home. To join our Spring Running Program, all you need to do is download the free iRun4Life App in the Apple or Android store – just search for “iRun4Life.”
Our weekly iRun4Life running program is available in the “Running & Fitness” link. Similar to our in person after school running program, there are weekly warm up exercises, running schedules, and cool down exercises that are updated each month. After running, your kids can click on the red link to log their miles and good deeds – just like the kids did last year. And they can still run with their friends in a safe environment. The only difference is that the children will be running in their neighborhood, or in a local park rather than at school. Another exciting feature of this year’s running program are yoga and dance videos.
Another feature of our running program is Healthy Nutrition. This is also available in our App through the Healthy Recipe link, where you will find family friendly healthy Snack, Meals, and Dessert recipes that our easy to make with your kids.
This year has been extremely challenging, and many of our kids’ physical and mental well-being have suffered. Our iRun4Life app will ensure your kids are healthy, and allow them to grow with our running program, as so many other kids have in years past.
