Dear Parents,
Next week the students will be working on a biography report (in class) on somebody famous from the past or present. Tomorrow in library students will be able to look for books on their famous person. I encourage students to either print off information about their famous person online at home, or get books from the public library. Students will need to bring in a book or internet facts about their famous person next week. We will be using the information from the books and internet print outs to help write a biography report. All of the report will be written in school. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Allen

Sickness at Pinebrook
There have been coughs, colds, flu, and stomach bugs making their way through Pinebrookl! Please be sure to have your child wash their hands often during this time of year, especially when they get home and after having friends over to play. Doing so will lessen the chance of spreading germs. Also,
when deciding to send students to school, please do not send them with a fever even if the fever
is reduced by medicine. We have been wiping down desks daily in order to prevent more germs from spreading. Thank you for your help.
