Hi Parents,
Happy Friday! Please ask your child about the NED assembly we attended today. NED stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best. The assembly reenforced the ideas of being a good citizen, being an upstander (someone who helps prevent bullying), and being a ready, responsible, and respectful student.
Meantime, time is clicking along at school, and the calendar is filling fast! The kids are working to fill our Marble Jar and earn a picnic. :)
Flat Student Projects:
Pinebrook Triple Play:
Please join us! Our annual Pinebrook Triple Play will be Thursday, March 22nd in the gym at John Champe High School. The Triple Play usually starts between 5:45 and 6:30 pm. This year, teachers from Pinebrook will be playing fun games against teachers from Buffalo Trail. 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, raffles, and other fun things. The 1st graders lead the singing of the National Anthem before the games begin. Please watch both your Pinebrook weekly email and your child's Thursday folder for more information, including the specific start time and admission prices.
Box Tops for Education:
Box Tops for Education are due Friday, March 16th. If you lost the collection paper for Box Tops, please send them to school in a Ziploc bag labeled with your child's name.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Stay warm this weekend! The weather is going to be wild! Thank you!

I sent a note home in yesterday's Thursday folder about our Flat Student projects. Please review this information. Please kindly return both stamps and an address for someone to whom your child may mail his/her Flat Student. Please send these things by next Friday, March 16th. Please let me know if you have any questions about this project. :)
