Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!  I know you Caps fans are over the moon today.  I'm not a big sports girl, but I love seeing the excitement around the school for the team. Congratulations to all of you who've been waiting your entire life for this win!


Meantime, we had a busy day.  We serenaded the volunteers at our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast this morning, and celebrated the end of the year at our party!  


Thank you for the generous birthday gifts the Room Moms presented to me today! Amazon, Panera, and Cheesecake Factory are my favorites, and now I have gift cards to enjoy this summer!  I was so surprised to see an ENTIRE cheesecake show up today - I know what I'm having for dinner tonight! The giant card from the kids is priceless, as is listening to them sing "Happy Birthday" to me. 💛


A few items for next week:


Rock and Read:

Monday is a school-wide "Rock and Read" in which classes take turns reading in certain hallways around the school.  Your child may bring a small towel or blanket to sit on during our class's turn at Rock and Read.  

Picnic Lunch on Tuesday:

Our cafeteria will be used as a polling place for Tuesday's election, so every class in the school is eating lunch outside at its designated lunch time.  If possible, please have your child pack lunch on Tuesday.  Lunch will be available for purchase from the cafeteria; however, with the number of students in the school, it will help to have as many students pack as possible.

Yearbooks:

If your child ordered a yearbook, I sent it home today.  If your child did not order a yearbook, there will be a limited number of copies available for sale on a first-come/first-served basis on Monday, June 11th at the school store.  Yearbooks are $25; students must have exact cash or a check for $25 made payable to Pinebrook Elementary.  We will take time in class to sign yearbooks on Tuesday.  If your child purchased a yearbook and would like to have friends sign it, please have your child bring his/her yearbook on Tuesday.  

Game Day:

Next Tuesday, June 12th, will be a game day. I sent a flyer home in yesterday's Thursday folder.  Students may bring a board game or card game (NO electronics, please) to play with friends on Tuesday. 

Quarter 4 Report Cards:

Your child's 4th quarter report card will be viewable in your ParentVue account on Wednesday, June 20th.  

Our schedule next week will be very fluid.  We have some "this and that" items to finish...our American Symbols unit, our 1st grade memory suitcases, and a secret Father's Day project.  Aside from that, we will continue to clean out our drawers and supplies, attend some end-of-year assemblies, celebrate the 5th graders before their Promotion Ceremony, and enjoy some extra time with friends in the sunshine! 


Have a super weekend!  I will celebrate my birthday on Sunday with my boys. Something weird happened - yesterday I was 28 and about to have Savey, and today I'm about to be 44 with 2 teenagers!  😂
