Lyra earned a reading token because she improved the most on her reading fluency in the first semester in Mr. Herrin’s class! Congrats Lyra, keep up the great work!


Kindergarten students participated in a “book tasting” today to get excited about the many new books they will explore during ELA this quarter! Students got the chance to get a “taste” of each book by flipping through and discussing the things they noticed and wondered.





Good afternoon. Out of an abundance of caution, all Mary Miller Junior High practices for today, Friday, January 10, are cancelled. Please look for updates or announcements from coaches on the Team Reach platform. Have a safe weekend.

Mrs. Runyan's class learned about traits between baby birds and their parents today! 🐦




Christmas is coming soon, so second grade is having fun this week learning about the different elements of Christmas! Students in Mr. Herrin’s class spent today learning about Christmas trees. The students enjoyed building and eating their own yummy Christmas trees.










Pine Crest Families!
Tomorrow is Two Quarter Tuesday! 🎅🤶🧑🎄


🎄✨ Pine Crest Holiday Spirit Week! ✨🎄
Join us December 18-20 for our Holiday Spirit Week filled with fun dress-up days and festive activities! Let’s spread some holiday cheer and make this week unforgettable!


Students in Mrs. Runyan's class wrote letters to Santa today!







2nd graders in Mrs. Davis’s class are working hard to wrap up Module 1 in Wit and Wisdom, with their end of module task. Students are writing a paragraph to answer the question, “How does weather impact people, plants and animals?”








Scarlett received a token for the book vending machine! She is doing great things here at Pine Crest!


Christmas time is almost here, so second grade had some visitors from the North Pole come to keep an eye on things! Students in Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Esteppe, and Mr. Herrin’s class turned themselves into elves for the holiday. By the looks of it, you can tell that these elves are excited for Christmas! Come stop by the second grade hallway on Christmas program night to see your student’s elf.

Sign ups are posted on the Pine Crest PTO Facebook page for those who may be interested. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Regina at 217-799-4188.
