Timber Tales
White Pine Elementary
March 2024
Dear White Pine Families,
We are thrilled to share some exciting updates with you in our latest newsletter! Thanks to your generous support, all students at White Pine now proudly sport Timber Trait t-shirts. We recently celebrated our collective hard work and achievements during a school-wide assembly in late February. Witnessing our students wearing these shirts with pride is truly exciting, but what's even more gratifying is observing them embodying our Traits in their daily activities.
As we move through the third quarter, our students continue to make significant progress and strides. Our dedicated teachers have undergone training and are diligently incorporating learner dispositions, clarity of content, and student voice into their instructional practices. Furthermore, our students are beginning to delve into success criteria and evaluating their own progress in their learning journey.
We are thrilled to witness the growth and development of our students as we approach the end of the third quarter. Please note that there will be no school from March 18th to March 22nd, providing a wonderful opportunity for some quality family time.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in nurturing the growth and success of our White Pine students.
Warm regards,
White Pine School Administration
Mr. Novotny, Principal
Ms. Collinge, Assistant Principal
