🚀🚀 5th graders in Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Oswald’s classrooms are putting their engineering skills to use today! They constructed paper towers to withstand “hurricane force winds.” After testing, they could reconstruct and retest. Science is so fun! 😎
Tonight, we get to listen to the final chapter of Zoey & Sassafras. We have loved sharing this book with our Pine Avenue families and hope your family has enjoyed reading with us.

This performance will be streamed at the High School Auditorium on October 21st at 7:15 – we’ll have some folks from Alma College explaining the project and providing some brochures on the history of the Opera House. This would be an interesting event for parents to bring their students who are studying Michigan History. If you have any questions, please contact Sheryle Dixon at sddixon@alma.edu or (989) 463-7967.
This morning, students in Mrs. Fornusek’s class played a math facts race game. It was a close match and came down to the final round. So much fun!
Thank you to all who attended conferences. We appreciate the time families took out of their day to discuss their student(s).
Here's this week's Pine Press. As a reminder, this was the last week a paper copy will be sent home. Pine Press will be emailed to families, as well as posted to Facebook and the APS app.
