Always Growing: Pinney Community Book Club
Mrs. Ranly shared information about a community book club this week in library. The best part, there are no required meetings or work to be done with the book. This is a fun way to create a community of readers within our school. Opportunities for interaction and discussion will be shared in the Pinney newsletter and during your Library rotation. Please see the link below with more detials, including the book title.

Pinney Has Heart Career Connections
At this point, we are still in need of speakers, if we are not able to acquire more by Wednesday, January 24, we will not be able to offer this career connection during Pinney Has Heart. However, all other Pinney Has Heart activities will continue.
This year one of our building goals is to expose kids to different career opportunities. In an effort to Always Grow, we are interested in adding a career component to Pinney Has Heart (February 14). We are seeking guest speakers with careers related to heart health (see attatchment) to talk with a class or two on February 14th between 10:00-10:45 and/or 2:00-2:45. If you are interested, please review the document below and then email Mrs. Tzagournis, tzagournis_hope@dublinschools.net or Mr. Page, page_joshua@dublinschools.net.
Note: Depending on availability and response, we may not be able to use each volunteer for this event. Thank you for understanding. Please remember this day of community outreach and focusing on our own health takes place of traditional Valentine's Day Parties, therefore, we will not exchange traditional Valentines. Please be on the look out for more details in the coming weeks.
