South Pines Elementary

What an AMAZING week at South Pines! 🎉🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

A huge THANK YOU to Apex Leadership Co. for another fun-filled week of challenges, leadership lessons, and excitement leading up to our Fun Run! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families and community, we raised over $10,500 to support our PTO and future South Pines needs.

We would also like to thank our teachers and staff for their partnership with Apex, their enthusiasm, and their commitment to making this experience so meaningful for our students. The positive attitudes, teamwork, and learning that took place throughout the week were truly inspiring!

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported our students. Your contributions make a lasting impact. Last year, PTO used Apex funds to sponsor additional playground equipment, including our popular musical flowers, and we are excited to see how this year's funds will benefit our school community.

Our students met their fundraising goal, and as promised, they celebrated by helping duct tape our principal, Mrs. Reyes, to a pole! 😂 It was the perfect ending to a fantastic week.

Thank you, Apex, for another memorable experience. We always look forward to this fun and rewarding tradition at South Pines! 💙💛

We hope you can join us!

Our hallways are looking AMAZING thanks to the awesome SBAC encouragement posters lining the walls for our 4th and 5th grade students! We love building excitement and confidence as our students prepare to show all they’ve learned. 🎉📚✏️

Families, please help your student be ready to do their best by making sure they:
✔️ Get plenty of rest
✔️ Eat a good breakfast at home or at school
✔️ Come ready with a positive attitude!

A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful PTO for generously providing snacks for students during testing week! 💙

South Pines students had a great time in PE yesterday when Power Pickleball came to visit! Students learned new pickleball skills, stayed active, and had a lot of fun on the court. Thank you to Power Pickleball Club for providing such a great experience for our students! 🏓
