Something about yourself:
I have been in education as a classroom teacher or a librarian for many years. I have worked in schools in the Richmond area with most of my years spent at Collegiate and Pinchbeck. I have also lived and taught in Cairo, Egypt and Tokyo, Japan. I have traveled to many places in Europe, Africa and Asia. Teaching and traveling have been a wonderful educational experience for me.

INTERNATIONAL NIGHT
| |
The PTA is organizing an International Festival on January 16, 2014. It is a chance to celebrate the diversity within our school. There will be fun, food and friends at this fantastic event! As this is a school wide party, we need A LOT of parent volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help provide tastings of favorite dishes from their culture of origin, create heritage posters, or provide entertainment (in the form of international music, dance or games). Simply complete and return the International Volunteer Request Form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xGrevOwKt-V3Hl9rP0YoH6oAoixcHk68Xts_5WdYKxE/viewform by January 13th. Even if you are unable to volunteer, please return the form with your country of origin. If you have any questions, please contact mariehess@gmail.com.

Pinchbeck PTA is pleased to announce its plans for the 13th Annual Science Fair. The science fair will be in the gymnasium on Friday, January 31st. Science fair tours and demonstrations will take place during school hours. All students will be allowed to attend the science fair activities regardless of whether or not they have submitted a project.
(Please note that participation in the science Fair is mandatory for all 4th grade students.)

Projects will not be judged. All students participating in the fair will be given a ribbon by the PTA.

If a student does not have an email address, contact Jennifer Krug for a printed version of the certificate.
Please register your student by Friday, January 10, 2013, in order to allow the PTA enough time to order tables and participation ribbons. Click here to register: 2014 Science Fair Registration

PINCHBECK'S GOT TALENT - 2014!
| |
We are very excited to announce that the Pinchbeck's Got Talent 2014 show will be taking place once again in the spacious Godwin High School Auditorium. Our talented PES children will take the stage on Friday, March 7th at 7pm. MARK your CALENDARS to sign up ONLINE through a link in the Monday, January 13th PTA newsletter! Our stage time is restricted, thus we will be limiting the acts this year to the first thirty-five (35) acts who sign up online. Start thinking about your individual or group act! Please keep in mind the necessity for acts that showcase appropriate elementary-age songs, dances and costumes. Because this is a talent show, students WILL NOT be permitted to lip-sync, however, Karaoke-style accompaniment is allowed. Other types of talent acts may include magic, poetry reading, playing an instrument, dance, gymnastics, etc. Each act can be a maximum of two minutes. Students will be permitted to participate in only ONE act this year with no exceptions. The PTA reserves the right to refuse submissions that do not meet the guidelines outlined above. There will be required after school auditions on Feb. 4th & 5th and a required after school dress rehearsal for all Talent Show participants on Tuesday, March 4th. Thank you in advance for your support! We can't wait to see you at PINCHBECK'S GOT TALENT 2014! |
