A Peek At Our Week and Important Dates

Happy Friday!!!

Valentine's Day Party
We will be having our Valentine's Day class party on February 14th from 11:00 am- 12:30 pm. This will be a pizza party with snacks and games/activities. If your child does not like pizza or is not allowed to eat pizza please send them in with a lunch that day.

A list of student names along with the party details was sent home. Students need to have a Valentine for everyone. Please no candy or food attached to the Valentine's. We will be making Valentine's Day bags in class and Valentine's will be passed out at the party.




A Word From our Guidance Counselors: 

Comfort Case Donation Drive

WHAT IS A COMFORT CASE?
A Comfort Case is a NEW small duffel bag or backpack holding BRAND NEW items listed below to be delivered to a child entering foster care. With the hope of replacing trash bags traditionally carried in lieu of a ‘suitcase’ by those in foster care, Comfort Cases provides essentials for the first few days in a new place, as well as comfort items. Children need to know that their community cares about them, and wants them to have something of their very own. Learn more by visiting: www.ComfortCases.org
WHAT IS A PACKING PARTY?
An opportunity to bring your community together to pack a sense of hope & support to foster children as you assemble complete Comfort Cases.
PINEBROOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WILL BE HOSTING A PACKING PARTY on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH
WHAT ARE WE ASKING OF OUR PINEBROOK COMMUNITY?
With your help, we can provide a local foster child with some hope by giving them a comfort case and showing them that their community cares about them.  We are asking for Donations of new items from each grade, as follows:

KINDERGARTEN     Coloring books and crayons
1ST GRADE               Stuffed Animals
2ND GRADE              Backpacks or duffel bags
3RD GRADE              Blankets
4TH GRADE               Pajamas

OUR SCHOOL GOAL IS TO PACK 300 COMFORT CASES. WITH YOUR HELP, WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT!  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR DONATIONS AND YOUR PARTICIPATION.
