Hello Families,
I am in awe of the amazing support and generosity of our families! Not only was it amazing to see so many of you supporting our students at the Fun Run, but also your financial support. So far we have raised over $20,000. This is incredible and helps provide amazing opportunities for our students including field trip buses, resources for classrooms, staff appreciation, building improvements and so much more! We had an amazing day on Friday at the Fun Run and couldn't have done it without the amazing Fun Run committee and all of the parents who volunteered. Thank you!
This weekend I was able to cheer on some of our 5th graders who participated in the 5th Grade Run at Beverly Park. They did an awesome job representing Pembroke! This week we start with picture day and will end our week with our first PRIDE Packs on Friday morning. We are looking forward to another great week!
As many of you know, some of our classrooms are piloting our new literacy curriculum. These teachers will be sharing more information with families on each module and the books the curriculum will be using. For any parent or guardian who is interested these documents can all be found on our district website at: https://www.birmingham.k12.mi.us/academics-experiences/curriculum-assessment/k-8-elaliteracy-pilot
Have a great week!
Thursdays are Bagel Days!
Bagels will be $1 each (Plain or Salt available) - each child is allowed one bagel. Bagels will be sold in the main lobby and at the Witherbee loop entrance. Thanks to all our 4th grade parent volunteers!
4th grade parents: Plan ahead - please sign up to volunteer for future weeks!

The process only takes a few minutes - once the extension is done, your student is free to leave.
We're asking for a pre-pay donation of $10. If you come the day of the event - we're asking for a $15 donation at the door.
