Students must fill out each of the following reading slips, cut along the dotted line, and turn in completed slips on Friday each week. No late submissions will be accepted. Remember to fill in the number of HOURS your child has read that week and SIGN the slip. The last reading slip is due Friday, November 16th.

Next Week is Spirit Week:

Next week, we will have a Spirit Week to celebrate Pinebrook as a bully-free zone! Themes for each day are as follows:

Tuesday:  Inside Out Day - wear your clothes inside out to show that bullying can cause hurt feelings on the inside more than anyone sees on the outside.

Wednesday:  National Unity Day - wear orange to show support for students who have been bullied.

Thursday:  Walk in Someone Else's Shoes Day - wear 2 different shoes to show compassion and empathy for someone else's situation.

Friday:  Superhero Day - Dress like a superhero to let everyone know you are a superhero in the effort to stop bullying.  You are an upstander, and practice "Stop, Walk, and Talk!"
