Happy Friday!
Multicultural Celebration
Taste – See – Smell – Hear …. the world. We invite you to come to
Pinebrook and teach our staff about the traditions and culture of your native
country. Please feel free to bring artifacts, games, food sample (with listed
ingredients), wear traditional clothing or anything that you would like to
share with your child’s teacher and the Pinebrook staff.
Den Rally
We had our first "Den
Rally" today! It's an assembly used to build community and better
connect our teachers and students. Once a month, the whole school will
gather in the gym for a short morning assembly.
We listen to the school news, say
the pledge together, recite the "Puma Creed", and learn about social
skills. Please ask your child about our Den Rally.
Lunch Money
If you haven't yet put money on your student's lunch account, you
can sign up for an account on www.myschoolbucks.com and manage your child's lunch
account on-line. You can also send a check to school with your student,
but our cafeteria staff really encourages www.myschoolbucks.com to avoid lost
checks between home and school. If you need a lunch menu, please visit
the school website (www.lcps.org/pinebrook) and click "school menu"
in the upper right hand corner.
If you didn't bring your student's school supplies to school yet,
please kindly send those as soon as possible.

that would fit both classes.
