Pinehurst Elementary School

Wednesday was an exciting day as students participated in releasing their fish! This hands-on experience gave everyone the opportunity to learn about conservation, wildlife, and the importance of caring for our environment. Watching the fish swim off into their new home was a memorable moment for all involved. Thank you to everyone who helped make this special experience possible!

One of our therapy dogs Poppy loves getting belly rubs and giving kisses to her friend Chief Richter.

What an amazing time at our school carnival! 🎡 From games and laughter to delicious treats and smiling faces, it truly was a day to remember. Thank you to everyone who came out to support and celebrate with us—we couldn’t have done it without our wonderful families, students, and volunteers. Your energy and enthusiasm made the event so special.

Paws-itive Attendance! 🐶 Our staff has felt so much love this week, but the best gift of all is seeing our students’ smiling faces every day! High attendance means more time for learning, growing, and celebrating together. We hope all our families get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. See you Monday! ☀️

It’s Staff Appreciation Week! 🌟

When our students are in their seats, everyone wins! 🍎 Aside from the classroom and social benefits, our state funding is tied directly to our Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Simply put: higher attendance helps us secure more of the state dollars we are already allocated. Let’s keep working together to keep our numbers high and our schools strong!

Our PASS program has been busy! They enjoyed a visit from the Forest Service, created some fun Easter art, and helped clean up the playground with a trash pickup.

Our team spent valuable time learning and growing together as we welcomed Cathy Collier from the Bureau of Education and Research. Staff from Title I, Special Education, and Kindergarten classrooms came together to strengthen their skills in delivering highly targeted reading interventions for our youngest learners in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Investing in our educators means investing in student success and we’re excited to see these strategies in action as we continue supporting every child on their path to becoming a confident reader. 📚
