Join us for 12 Days of Reindeer Games starting December 6th!

5th grade scholars are working hard during DI time in their classroom. During this time, students work on independent reading, completion of super sentences, getting instruction in small groups, and more!

Working on the first draft of Compare & Contrast papers involves brainstorming and developing ideas first. Students are using a variety of methods to get ready for authoring. So cool!

From our Pine Avenue family to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Have a fantastic 4 day weekend. We will see everyone on Monday! https://www.smore.com/j2ya7

WOW!!! What a generous community our Pine Avenue family is! 755 items were collected and given to the food pantry in Alma. Thank YOU to our student leadership council for organizing this and to each of our families for the support!

Reminder: Wednesday morning is the last day to donate food for the Food Drive! Let's see if we can reach our building goal of 750 items for the food pantry!

We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness of our PTO who “stocked the lounge” this morning! What a great Monday!

PTO meets TONIGHT at 6:30pm! Join us at Pine Avenue for our monthly meeting. Free childcare is provided. We welcome all families to attend!

It’s the last week to participate in Coins for a Cause! Don’t forget to have your students bring in spare change. All of the money raised goes to Gratiot County Hope House to support their homeless shelter. The classroom that raises the most will win a PIZZA PARTY! 🍕

We hope your families are staying warm and enjoying the winter weather! Bundle up and enjoy the time together! See everyone Monday! https://www.smore.com/bmp78

Mrs. Gregory visited Ms. Wilson's classroom to teach students about stuttering, how people can be affected by it, and how to make everyone feel comfortable with speech. Thanks Mrs. Gregory!

Due to slick road conditions, Alma Public Schools is closing today, Friday, November 18, 2022.

Join us at the next PTO Meeting! We meet on Monday at 6:30pm at Pine Avenue Elementary. Hope to see you there!
