Hi Everyone!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! The leprechauns were out in force at school...mischief, mischief everywhere. Be sure to ask your kiddo about the fun in our classroom, and about his/her leprechaun trap.
I'm pressing rewind on the blog this week since the snow days mean that this week's plans will be mostly shifted to next week. Words of the Week (and thus homework) will resume next week, as will Sound of the Week.
Parent Coffee:
Mr. Thiessen will host a parent coffee in the Library at school on Thursday, March 23rd at 11:00 am. This month's theme is "Tea-ssen Time"...come to ask questions, chat with Mr. Thiessen, and learn about a variety of current happenings and volunteer opportunities at our school. *This coffee was rescheduled to the 23rd due to the snow.
Pinebrook Triple Play:
Please join us! Our annual Pinebrook Triple Play will be Thursday, March 23rd in the gym at John Champe High School. Doors open at 5:45 pm. This is a fun event where the teachers divide into teams and play games against each other. The games 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, face painting, and other fun things. The 1st graders lead the singing of the National Anthem before the games begin. Please watch your Pinebrook weekly email for more information.
Career Day:
Pinebrook will host a Career Day on the morning of Friday, March 31st. We are in need of volunteers to share information about their occupations with students at Pinebrook. If you can't be with us in person, you can Skype in! Please consider volunteering by contacting our counselors, Jennifer Nocito (jennifer.nocito@lcps.org) and Heather Ross (heather.ross@lcps.org).
