🌟 Team Duval Shoutout! 🌟

We’re celebrating the Pine Forest Elementary School Safety Patrols for representing Duval County with pride during their summer visit to Washington, D.C.! 💙

The students enjoyed an agenda filled with educational experiences and exciting activities, including a special photo opportunity at the National Cathedral. This memorable trip was a great way to recognize their leadership and dedication throughout the school year.

Thank you, Safety Patrols, for all you do to help keep our students and campus safe! We’re proud of you! 👏

Extended Day Is on the Hunt! 🔎🧩

🚨 Calling all LEGO lovers, puzzle masters, and card-game champions! 🚨

Our Extended Day crew is building up our fun zone and we need your help! We’re on the hunt for:

🧱 LEGOs — because apparently stepping on them is part of the experience 😂
🧩 Kid-friendly puzzles — the more pieces, the more “Where does this go?!” moments!
🃏 Card games- kid friendly
🎲 Board games & puzzles — because we believe screen-free fun is still a thing!

Have gently used items your kids have outgrown? Send them our way! ❤️

Let’s give our Extended Day students some awesome activities to keep their brains busy and their creativity flowing!

Drop off in front office to the attention of Mrs. McCrimon.
