We are excited to announce that we are going to the 3 Mile Project on May 31, 2018, to celebrate the end of the school year. The 3 Mile Project is a 34,000 square feet former warehouse that now contains sports courts, theaters, an indoor skate park, reball arena (similar to paintball but with a rubber balls), video game room, craft room, table games, and a café. Check it out online at http://3mp.org.  We leave Pinewood at 9:00 am and return at 2:00 pm. The cost for the end of the year trip is $12.00. 

A sure sign of spring's arrival is the appearance of spring clothing. We ask that parents help guide students in choosing clothing that is appropriate to be worn at school. Many of the current styles include short dresses or skirts, very short shorts and off the shoulder or tanks tops. These are not appropriate for school. We appreciate your help with enforcing the schools dress code. 
One other quick reminder please remind students of the importance of deodorant as we have PE daily. No perfumes or body sprays are allowed to be used at school.
