We had a great taste of spring weather this week! It was wonderful to see so many classrooms soaking up the sun outside. Don't put away those winter jackets quite yet, as the mornings are still rather chilly. Have a great weekend!
Here's this week's Pine Press!

Students in Mrs. Adams’s class are thankful for the nicer weather this week as they work on their courtyard renovation. We are so excited to partner with Andrew Cutler from AHS and Ashley O’Neil from CMU to help guide the work as well.

Here are the top classroom readers for week two at Pine Avenue! Keep reading!!!! 📚🐛

Don't forget to SPRING FORWARD on Sunday! Clocks need to go forward an hour ... it'll be great to have extra daylight in the evening.
