76 students and I were able to have ice cream today thanks to their AMAZING fundraising efforts! It was the perfect way to spend time on this hot, summer like day!!

5th grade families: Information regarding Cross Country at DLPMS is coming home with students today. Be on the lookout if your student is interested in this opportunity to participate in a fall sport!

We hope you have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! If you are traveling, safe travels, and if you're staying in town, you might consider visiting the Highland Festival, located at Alma High School this year! https://www.smore.com/nxwm5

I was so excited to have lunch with these fine students today as they achieved the goal of “Pizza with the Principal” for their efforts with fundraising during the PTO the Fun Run! It was awesome spending time together, celebrating and talking. Way to go, kids!

Dear Families, Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated with us for our 5th grade concert. Due to the rain and storms forecasted for this afternoon and evening, we will be canceling the live performance of our concert. The 5th grade students will instead be recording their performances during their music class. We will put together a video version of the concert and send it out on our Pine Avenue Facebook page next week. Thank you for understanding.

Dear 5th Grade Families, Our 5th Grade Concert is scheduled for Wednesday 5/25 at 6PM outside in the bus loop. Students should arrive by 5:45 and report to the music room or library. Students have been encouraged to dress as they would on picture day, but make sure they are comfortable. Families can bring chairs and blankets to enjoy the concert from the grassy part of the bus loop. As of right now, the forecast looks like rain. We will make a decision on whether to cancel the outdoor concert by 9:00AM on Wednesday morning. In the event that it is canceled, we will record the students performing and release the video as a virtual concert next week.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!! Hard to believe we just completed the last full week of the school year! https://www.smore.com/9zht5

🐾Today, we welcomed our incoming 4th graders for a visit! They ended their visit with a recess on our playground. We cannot wait to have them here next school year! 🐾
