Important Dates and A Peek At Our Week

Happy Friday!!

Cartoonist Visit  

On Monday, October 15, 2018, Cartoonist Duane M. Abel, creator of the comic strip ZED will be visiting Pinebrook Elementary.  Duane will be at our school presenting Draw Your Destiny.  This program teaches children how to establish goals, learn to love reading, and the value of education.

We are asking that ALL students and staff wear PINK on Monday.  ZED is pink and we can welcome Duane by wearing his favorite color.

Reflex Math

Remember 60 mins of Reflex Math is due each Friday. It can be completed at anytime over the weekend and throughout the week. It's helpful to set a timer since there is no timer on the actual program. Even though it's on the computer, this assignment is considered part of each students homework.

Water Bottles:
If you're not already doing so, please begin to send a water bottle to school each day with your child.  We do NOT have an in-class water fountain.  The kids get tired and thirsty over the course of our day, and water goes a long way toward helping them stay energetic and attentive.
