Earlier this month, students in Ms. Wilson's class were able to redeem their "house points" to have a "read-in afternoon." Students were encourage to wear comfortable clothes, create inviting warm spaces, and bring a stack of books they wanted to get through. Forts were made, snacks were eaten, and many words were read!




Our 4th graders found so many ways to keep their brains busy during inside recess today. Love watching brains at work!




Tomorrow is "Tacky Tourist/Beach Day!" Get ready for spring break by wearing your vacation gear.

Thank you to one of the Community Church community groups for dropping off snacks for our staff today! We love our community!!

Wednesday is spring colors day -- wear anything with colors that make you think spring!

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!
