Important Dates and A Peek At the Week

Important Dates and A Peek At the Week

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.

Donor's Choose: Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Peet’s Collaborative Classroom

Thank you so much to the wonderful families who have already donated to this project!!!!  Your support is appreciative!

We have created a request for our classroom at DonorsChoose.org: Collaborative Community of Learners Needs Classroom Rug.  We wanted to get a rug that would fit both classes.

All donations made before August 27^th up to $50 will be doubled thanks to DonorsChoose.org. Just enter the code LIFTOFF on the payment page and you'll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50).

Please consider donating to the classroom to build our collaborative classroom.
