The Pine River Elementary runners had a beautiful morning for a run at the Delta Invitational. Two runners ran 2 miles and the others ran 3/4 of a mile. They all ran hard and finished strong!




The 4th graders at Pine River are kicking off Creek Week at the Chippewa Nature Center! This week, they’re exploring survival skills. Yesterday’s adventures included practicing compass skills and building different types of shelters like tarp shelters, debris huts, and lean-tos.











Mrs. Little’s 4th graders have been enjoying partner reading outside. The weather has been perfect, and the students have been focused and working hard as they read and explore a historical biography—the first book in our new Bookworms curriculum.


While exploring informational text structures in Bookworms, students in Mrs. Bradley's 5th grade class engaged with a variety of mentor texts—thanks to a generous grant aimed at increasing access to diverse literature in classrooms.






Miss Hannah’s class kicked off their reading journey with Owen Foote, Money Man — their first book in the Bookworms program. The students had so much fun exploring the story, and one of the best parts was getting to work with Brett for the first time this year. What a great way to start their year of reading together!








Pine River students and even the turkeys are having a great time exploring the new playground equipment. It has quickly become a favorite spot for everyone.









Brett's first day brought a lot of smiles to students' faces.


Our classrooms at Pine River are filled with excitement as teachers and students spend time building strong classroom communities and learning how to work together. We’re off to a fantastic start!










The staff at Pine River is excited to welcome back our students. With changes ahead, we're ready to start a new chapter - it's going to be a great year!






Exciting news for Pine River Elementary! We now have two brand-new basketball hoops in the gym for our students to enjoy!



Thanks to the support of our community through the bond, Pine River has some exciting summer updates! A new playground area has been added for students to enjoy, and work is underway to install an electronic sign that will help share important information with families. We appreciate your continued support.




A big thank you to our custodians and ground crew for their hard work getting Pine River ready this summer. We appreciate everything you do. We hope everyone is enjoying their summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon.




Pine River is seeking a reliable and responsible adult who enjoys working with children to assist with lunch and recess supervision.


AP Biology students made a special visit to Pine River to teach some third graders all about Water Quality and its impact on the environment! Together, they explored the four essential elements of a healthy ecosystem — food, water, shelter, and space — and learned how water, both surface and groundwater, plays a crucial role in the health of plants and animals.
Students got hands-on with a fun activity: creating their own filters to clean dirty water, all while applying the scientific method to test and improve their designs.
A big thank you to Mrs. Crambell for organizing this engaging and educational experience!
