The 4th grade really showed HEART with their Food Pantry Competition!  They were especially empathetic when they donated food to help their community members in need and they were team players as they worked together towards a common goal! We added up all of the donated items for a grand total of ……1,316!! Wow! Thank you to the entire 4th grade for participating! 

Second Grade Balloon Parade Success!

We want to send a massive shout-out to our incredible Second Grade students for the fantastic job they did preparing for the annual Balloon Parade through Pine Tree! The creativity, effort, and sheer imagination they poured into their creations were truly spectacular. From towering fictional characters to dazzling abstract shapes, each balloon was a masterpiece of teamwork and artistry. Their parade brought so much joy and color to our community, making this year's event the best one yet. We are so proud of our young artists—they showed real commitment and school spirit!

A Feast of Gratitude!

Mrs. DiCurio's class once again hosted their heartwarming annual Thanksgiving feast! The students and staff poured their energy and love into creating a truly beautiful meal to share with everyone. It was a wonderful opportunity to gather, give thanks, and celebrate the season. Their hard work and dedication made this year's shared meal a tremendous success!
