Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)
On behalf of Pinewood, I would like to send our condolences to all of our UK and Commonwealth families for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her enduring service and strength of character through 15 British Prime Ministers and 14 U.S. Presidents has left an enduring mark on our world. |

PARENTS' NIGHT
After a long time, we were excited to host parents' nights at both campuses. Teachers informed parents about the year ahead, and EY/Elementary parents had the opportunity to visit our new Thermi campus and walk through our EY and elementary classrooms and learning spaces. Special thanks to our catering partner, HABANERA, who offered snacks, Sangria, and drinks. |
