Students should wear pants and bring a light sweatshirt or jacket. Your child should wear sneakers, and pack a disposable lunch. If you haven't brought in your $8 or permissions slip. Please remember to do this as soon as possible.

Teachers Making Tracks Bucket Day
On Friday, May 10, 2019 we will hold our ninth annual Pinebrook “bucket day”. Our team members will greet the parents at the kiss and go line holding purple buckets. If you would like to donate to the ACS, just wind down your window and we will come to your car. If you do not wind down your window, we will not approach your car. We will have team members in the bus line as well, so bus riders will have the opportunity to participate in this fundraiser.
Relay for Life is a unique, challenging, and fun way to raise money for the American Cancer Society. It is more than just a fundraiser. It is a celebration that represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one-day cancer will be eliminated.
To learn more about our local event or to make an online tax-deductible contribution, visit Loudoun County Relay for Life. Any additional questions feel free to contact Denise Higgins.
