We are so thankful for Alma Police Department! Officer Mueller stopped by today with Blue, the department service dog, to visit our students and staff. Smiles were a-plenty as they made their rounds through several classrooms. 💙🐾🖤

Love looking on the playground and seeing Pine’s “newest student.” ☃️
There’s something magical about the first “big” snowfall of the school year! Several of our Pine Ave students spent time rolling snow to build snowmen for our playground! ☃️
Good morning! Due to fog and ice, APS is operating on a 2 hour delay.
As a reminder, school will begin at 10:03 and breakfast is not served on delay days.
We're ready to "Deck the Halls" this December at Pine Avenue! We invite our students to participate in the daily dress up activities as we count down the days to winter break.
This week's staff spotlight is on APS 4th grade teacher, Becca Adkins. Mrs. Adkins has been an employee of APS for 19 years. This is her first year at Pine Avenue and says the best part of her job is working students and families - most importantly, laughing and learning with her class family! In her spare time, she likes to read, spend time with family and friends, and play trivia games. The best piece of advice she has been given? “Win Ugly.” Everything we do in life doesn’t have to be perfect. We just have to show up and do the best we can. Some days it might be beautiful and perfect, and other days, good enough is perfect!
We have over 300 reasons to be thankful at Pine Avenue! Thank you for sharing your most valuable people with us everyday. Happy Thanksgiving from our Pine Avenue family to yours!
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend, Pine families! We hope each of you have a great weekend with family and friends.
