Annual Social Studies Fair
All students participated in the Annual Social Studies Fair. The quality of the projects was outstanding.

Morris Brothers Assembly
The Pine Brook community was treated to an exciting and high energy assembly on Dec. 13 presented by the Morris Brothers. The Morris Brothers portray themselves throughout the assembly as NERDS (Never Ending Radical Dudes) and speak about issues relevant to bullying, having strong character, and getting along with your classmates.
