Curious Creatures










Summertime fun. Tyler had a great day  for the Curious Creature show on June 22nd. We all got a chance to hold a variety of reptiles and mammals at the party. Fluffy the Boa Constrictor and Ally the alligator were my favorites. Georgia the skunk was a fan favorite too. Have you ever held a skunk? She was just like a ferret.  Thank you all for a great year and enjoy the summer. See you in September.

Hilton Garden Inn Day







Once again the Hilton Garden Inn staff came to Pine Glen to beautify our school grounds.
 This has been an annual event with our community  for 4 years now.
The staff from the Hilton Garden arrived on a beautiful summer day to help weed, plant, rake and mulch the garden in the front of our school.
The highlight of thisday is always the delicious lunch they supply each gardener after they 've  worked up an appetite. The personal pan size pizza and lemonade is  signature lunch that Pine Glen students have come to look forward to. 
 Thanks to this wonderful group of people who volunteer their time and efforts to help each student get a taste of outdoor gardening.
