Pine Glen Spring Concert 2016

The fourth and fifth graders had a brilliant concert last night. The students were directed by Ms. Berger, Mr. Napierkowski, and Mrs. Agati. The theme was Broadway and for all those in the audience last night, we felt we were on that famous street in New York City.

Student Council and Bianca's Angels

Student Council has been working on a fundraiser for Bianca’s Angels. Bianca’s Angels is a foundation for Bianca Augeri, a 17 year-old girl who was born with Cystic Fibrosis. Bianca is a close friend of Emma Naddaff, a member of our Student Council.  This past Friday, May 13th, Pine Glen had a special visitor.  Bianca came into each classroom to show the students her gratitude for their hard work raising money for this great cause.  In preparation for Bianca’s visit, Student Council sold purple wristbands that read “Faith, Love, and Hope” and also planned a Purple Day (the color of Cystic Fibrosis) on Friday. So far, Pine Glen has sold over 150 wristbands and have raised about 300 dollars!

It’s not too late to participate! Student Council is going to continue to sell wristbands for $2 until the end of the month. Thank you Bianca for coming into Pine Glen!!

Five Star Generals

Congratulations to all our 5 Star Generals!

The Pine Glen Reading Corps is a program designed to encourage children to read on their own time. Students complete a chart recording their reading and bring it into school.  Once students complete enough charts and move through the 14 ranks they become a 5 Star General.  Students have their name announced over the intercom system, receive a certificate and a prize.  This program has been in place at Pine Glen Elementary School for over 35 years.
