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!

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!
