VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT, Jacqueline Rogne<br />
It is hard to believe that this is the final <strong>PTO</strong> News of this school year. It certainly is true that<br />
time flies when you’re having fun!<br />
I would like to extend a big bouquet of thanks to all of our hardworking Committee<br />
Chairpersons, Co-chairs and Committee Members, all of our numerous classroom volunteers<br />
who work with the children daily and support our teachers, and the wonderful front office staff<br />
(Darcy Hartley and Trisha Bonds), who devote so much of themselves and their time to the<br />
well-being of our children at Pine Ridge. They are truly what make Pine Ridge special and such a<br />
wonderful place!<br />
A special thanks goes out to Laurie Guikema (Cultural Arts Chair) who put together a great<br />
inaugural Spring Art Show: “Art is Blooming at Pine Ridge.” Thank yous also go out to Art<br />
Teacher Tim Donohoe, our 4 th grade wait staff, and the Committee Members who helped put<br />
together a bloomin’ good show!<br />
Staff Appreciation Week was a tremendous success, thanks to Co-Chairs Kerri Smith and Katie<br />
Schwarze, their amazing Committee Members, and the Head Room Parents. It was fun to see<br />
the reactions of teachers and staff to each special event that was so carefully planned for them.<br />
Their transformations back into the giddy schoolchildren that they teach every day was<br />
priceless! Thanks once again, Teachers and Staff at Pine Ridge, for all you do!<br />
I would like to acknowledge our outgoing <strong>PTO</strong> President, Molly VanDeRiet, for her unwavering<br />
dedication throughout the years to Pine Ridge and the <strong>PTO</strong>. Her wealth of knowledge,<br />
generosity and fun-loving spirit will be greatly missed next year. Best wishes, Molly! Those<br />
same wishes are also going out to all of the 4 th grade parents and children who are moving on<br />
as well.<br />
And lastly, I would like to thank and congratulate Mr. Lareau for making the huge leap from<br />
Interim Principal to Principal Extraordinaire. I am optimistic that Pine Ridge will continue its<br />
tradition of excellence and flourish under his leadership.
