Thank you for your participation.

Genevieve Orders

Genevieve orders are in the school lobby 

and are ready to be picked up!

Coupon Book Update

It was brought to my attention this morning that one of the coupons in the KidStuff Coupon Book has already expired, which leads to the question - How many other coupons are invalid or about to become invalid?

I went through every coupon this morning and the ONLY coupon to expire in 2012 is the Witch's Wood coupon at Nashoba Valley.

All other coupons expire in 2013 and the majority (95%) expire on 12/31/13.  The others that expire earlier are activity coupons that are seasonal. For example Pat's Peak (skiing) lift ticket - expires closing day spring 2013.

If you have any questions about this please contact Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net or cell 617.290.5968.

New Fundraiser

Today in your child's backpack is a personalized yellow plastic bag with a KidStuff coupon book inside. This is a new PTO fundraiser for Pine Glen. 

Here's a quick run down on how this fundraiser works:
  
*Books have been sent home by family.  Each book has been labeled with your child's name. The coupon book has a ton of wonderful coupons, which can be used through-out Massachusetts.  

*Coupon books are $25 each.  The PTO receives $12.50 for each book sold, which will be put toward the Pine Glen Family Fund.  The book pays for itself almost immediately.  There are great coupons for shops at the mall, restaurants, as well as Roche Brothers. There are also activity coupons for museums, pottery places, bowling, skiing and The Lowell Spinners! 

*The yellow flyer explains how the fundraiser works.  If you want to buy the book that came home with your child, using the provided money envelop, send cash or a check (payable to the Pine Glen PTO) back to the school.  If you'd like to order additional books, using the money envelop provided, indicate the number of books and the edition or location requested.  For use locally, use MASS.  If you have family in the other regions listed you could order a book for them.  Please check the back side of yellow flyer for a complete list.

*If you are not interested at this time, please send the plastic bag with the coupon book enclosed back to school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to direct them to Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net or cell 617.290.5968.

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today, Pine Glen welcomed 61 new students to the Kindergarten classes of Mrs. Parnell, Mrs. Babajtis and Mrs. Potts.  We are excited to have these rising stars at our school.  

Welcome to Pine Glen School.  We hope your first day was the best!

Back to School

A new school year is always an exciting time for kids and parents alike. As a parent, I look forward to getting back into the school routine.  For kids, it's meeting their new teacher, seeing their new classroom and finding old friends and making new ones.  

One of the more challenging things to a new school year is sifting through all the paperwork that comes home on the first day of school.  In that huge packet of paper, you'll find the new PTO brochure highlighting the enrichment programs, from Kindergarten orientation to 5th grade Camp Bournedale.  Your support is the key to the success of the Pine Glen PTO.  Your participation can be as simple as collecting and sending in Box Tops, Campbell's Labels or Coke Rewards tops, or you can get more involved by volunteering for a committee.  Any and all participation is welcomed and appreciated. 

We hope that you'll take the time to review the PTO materials sent home today in your child's backpack and send in your dues. Sign up to receive the PTO Blog announcements and use this site as a reference tool throughout the year.  

We look forward to celebrating the 50th anniversary year of Pine Glen.

Note to Members

Spring has been busy with year-end activities. The Pine Glen PTO sponsored some popular events this month.  On June 1st, the fifth graders attended their final field trip at the Cedardale water and recreation park. The PTO funded bus costs, water, and T-shirts for this trip. We appreciate the work of Katie Capobianco and Kristen Downie on the terrific Cedardale T-shirts.

The annual Pine Glen BBQ took place on June 5th.  Students and their guests enjoyed hamburgers from B.good, hot dogs, grilled chicken, and push-pops under clearing skies.  The PTO funded the DJ and a visit by the Red Sox Green Monster!  Cafeteria supervisor, Carol Keene won the 50/50 raffle and kindly returned part of her winnings to the Pine Glen Family Fund which helps Pine Glen families in need.  We would like to thank Erynn Mitchell, who chaired this event, as well as the many volunteers including: Meg Bond, Tania Conlon, Catherine Gillespie, Judi Golden, Steven Macri, Christine Nicoloro, and Ginna Churchill Shahid.

Children in grades 1-5 enjoyed a fun-filled Field Day on Thursday June 7th.  Inflatable rides, water and pizza for volunteers were donated by the PTO.  Thanks to all the volunteers and P.E. Instructor Christie Govoni, who organized this event.  We received priceless thank-you notes from the students.

Many thanks to Michelle Gaffney for chairing the BEEP Enrichment Committee and for coordinating a special visit to the school by Ben Franklin and Hellen Keller from Historical Perspectives.  Each character's life was dramatically reenacted from childhood through adulthood by multi-media, allowing the children to see the process the historical characters went through to achieve their goals.  The PTO annually funds programs given by outside performers, authors or illustrators.

Also, the PTO helped to coordinate and provide refreshments to future students who attended the pre-school reading sessions.  We would like to thank the Kindergarten teachers and Tania Conlon for chairing this committee.

The PTO hosted a reception for fifth graders and their guests after the moving-up ceremony last Thursday.  Sincere thanks go to Aikiko Coram, Ginelle Davidson, and Nancy O' Callaghan who made the extra effort to assist at this event even though their child was not "graduating".  Special thanks go to Joanna DeFrancesco, who organized all the details for the gathering.

Finally, fifth graders received yearbooks and DVDs, purchased by the PTO, after the moving-up ceremony.  We would like to thank the parents who worked diligently to publish a fantastic yearbook.  They include: Gina Accardi, Katie Capobianco, Lisa Crockett-Crowe, Kristen Downie, Marie Grinnell, Lisa MacNeil and Maria Woods.  Many thanks go to Kristen, who chaired this committee and spent countless hours on the yearbook and DVD that highlighted special events the students participated in during the school year; she has set the bar high! The books and video will serve as precious reminders for the fifth graders of their days, friends and teachers at Pine Glen.  We wish them all the best in middle school.

As many of you know, this will be my final year as PTO Co-President.  Thank you for the many well wishes.  It has been a pleasure and privilege working with PTO members, students and staff of Pine Glen.  I will see some of you at MSMS and BHS.  I'm confident that next year's Board will continue the fine work and mission of the PTO.  Evident in the aforementioned is how the PTO provides wonderful enrichment for all Pine Glen students.  We look forward to working with you next school year and hope you will continue to support the PTO.

Wishing you a terrific and relaxing summer break,

Maria Woods and the Pine Glen PTO Board

5th Grade Moving Up Ceremony - Help Needed

Dear Members,

We need a few parents to help serve refreshments after the moving-up ceremony for fifth graders on Thursday, June 14th from 6 - 8 p.m.  Parents of fifth graders will already have set up the room.  We just need a few people to serve cake, fruit salad, & drinks and clean up afterward.

TO DATE WE ONLY HAVE ONE VOLUNTEER!  We need a few parents of non-fifth graders to step up.  We do not expect parents of the Class of 2012 to volunteer, but rather enjoy time with their child and fellow parents for their final gathering at Pine Glen.  The same will be done for you when your child "graduates."

If you can help, please contact Joanna DeFrancesco at joanna.defrancesco@gmail.com.  We truly appreciate any time you can give.

Thank you so much,

Maria Woods and the Pine Glen PTO Board

Thank you to all who expressed interest.

Family BBQ - Orders due today

Please send in your order for the Pine Glen BBQ, scheduled for Tuesday, June 5th from 6-8 p.m. by today, Weds. May 30th.  

We will be joined by Wally the Green Monster during the first hour!  This year b.good is providing the burgers, chicken burgers and hot dogs.  We'll have music and a 50/50 Raffle too!

We need more volunteers to help with the event.  Join us to help with set up, break down or assist during the BBQ.  Just an hour of your time will make all the difference.  Please contact Erynn Mitchell  781-698-7324 or emitch_623@yahoo.com if you are able to volunteer.

Campbell's Labels for Education

Send in your Campbell's Labels by this Friday, May 25.  


Each June the Campbell's Labels for Education Committee sends in a school year's worth of labels and orders new playground equipment with the help of Ms Govoni.  


If you aren't already familiar with the collection box for the Labels for Education, it is located in the school lobby near the lost & found rack and the vending machine. 


Thank you for taking the time to cut, save and send them into school. 

New Secretary - PTO Board

Congratulations to Joanne Shortell.  She was voted onto the PTO Board last night as the new Secretary.  We are happy to have her join the Board.

A very big thank you is extended to Maria Woods for her years of service to the PTO.  She wasn't sure exactly how many years she'd been involved in the PTO, but thought it was pretty close to fourteen years.  We are so thankful for all her support to the kids and staff at Pine Glen.  We wish her well as she will no doubt find new adventures supporting the tweens of Marshall Simonds Middle School.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Monica Brown.  She is stepping down as Secretary this year.  Monica has provided unyielding support to the Board, attending every meeting and jotting down our every word! Monica will still be actively involved in the PTO as the Chair of the Coke Rewards Program next year.  Thank you!

Last PTO Meeting - Thurs. May 17th

Next Thursday, May 17th, is the last PTO Meeting for this school year.  It's election time!  Please come and vote for the new board members. 


Also, it's a great opportunity to say thank you to Maria Woods for her years of service to the Pine Glen PTO.  Her son Andrew is finishing up the fifth grade and moving on to middle school and with that, we will lose a valuable member to the PTO.  Maria has tirelessly supported the students and parents of Pine Glen.  Please come and say thank you.  We'll serve refreshments and celebrate. 

Meeting starts at 7:00pm.

 

Spring Cleaning?

Do you have old books, dvds or cds that you want to get rid of? 


Donate them to the Pine Glen Used Book bin.  


The gray bin its located in the school parking lot near the student drop off area.  This is an on-going fundraiser that contributes to the Pine Glen literacy program. 

Square 1 Art is here!

Square 1 Art orders came in today and are available in the school lobby for pick up.

All the tables at the school are in use for the Art Show tomorrow, so orders are located in boxes near the PTO board next to the main office.  All mugs, plates and water bottles are located on top of the table, all other items are in the boxes underneath the table.

All orders are organized by grade. The original order form has been included with each order and should be easy to locate.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
