Important Dates and A Peek At Our Week

Happy Friday!!

Wish List

We are in need of disinfecting wipes.  With all the germs going around, we try to clean the room once a week.

Biography Buddies

We have been doing research and writing about Famous Americans here in school. Students need to decorate the Biography Buddy cut out that was sent home last week. That is the only piece required to complete at home! If you would like to help your child research at home that's also fine! Biography Buddies will be due Wednesday, March 20th to display in the hall!

Pinebrook Triple Play:
Please join us!  Our annual Pinebrook Triple Play will be next Thursday, March 21st in the gym at John Champe High School.  The Triple Play usually starts between 5:45 and 6:30 pm.  The Pinebrook teachers and staff play games that are designed to make us look as silly as possible...think kickball, tricycle races, and dizzy bats!  The event starts with teacher bowling.  There will be food and snacks for sale, raffles, and other fun things.

Yearbooks:
Pinebrook yearbooks are on sale now!  Please see yesterday's Thursday folder for additional information. Yearbooks may only be purchased online.  To purchase a yearbook, go to ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter school code 7561119.  You will be prompted through the order and payment process.  The deadline to order a yearbook is April 28th.  You must pre-order a yearbook if you would like your child to receive one.

Camp STEAM-tacular is coming to Pinebrook this summer.  The following is an announcement from the Camp STEAM-tacular team:
