Always Growing: Save The Date Pinney PTO Meeting

Join the PTO Board for its general meeting and enjoy guest speaker, Mark Mousa, as he discussed technology and how it relates to children. Social media is being used by millions of children to communicate information. Kids as young as nine and ten have smart devices and are using picture and video apps like TikTok and SnapChat.


Mark will discuss building good tech habits for our kids, assessing their readiness for technology and much more. We hope to see you on Wednesday February 7, at 6:30 PM.

Take Responsibility: Pinney Has Heart

Our 5th annual Pinney Has Heart event is coming up on February 14th and we are excited to focus our community service efforts on supporting No Kid Fights Cancer Alone, a Columbus nonprofit organization that provides support for kids fighting cancer through financial, emotional support, and events for play. This organization has been around for 16 years providing support for families experiencing pediatric cancer through valuing Family, Community, and Small Moments Matter.

Beginning January 29, Pinney students will be collecting school supplies and gift cards to donate. Boxes will be located in the main hallway to collect supplies. We are collecting the following new school supplies: Gluesticks, Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers, Highlighters, Erasers, Black or Blue Ballpoint Pens, #2 pencils, Dry Erase Markers, 3X5 Index Cards, Rulers, and Scissors. In addition to school supplies, we will also be collecting Gift Cards for the following places: Kroger, Amazon, and Walmart. Please indicate the amount of the gift card on the card (if not already marked). Teachers will be collecting gift cards in the classroom. Our Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade students will be sorting and counting all of the donations. Thank you so much for supporting this important cause!
