She also said so I became a teacher because I wanted to create experiences for my students in order to help them love learning!

Pinewood students had so much fun on Halloween.  From classroom parties to an all school parade, the students truly did a great job exhibiting CATS behavior.  Designing haunted houses for our 6th graders was a highlight as well.  A big thank you to all of our parent volunteers for helping to plan these great festivities for our students.
