Close to 300 Pines Elementary School students, alumni, parents, teachers, administrators and staff recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the school. Several hundred Pines Elementary School past and present students, parents and staff members enjoyed an evening chock full of food, fun and memories for the School’s Golden Anniversary Celebration.
Guests received a group assignment when they arrived at the entrance to visit several “stations.” Each station featured something different for the participants’ enjoyment, including: square dancing, a photo slide show; a student musical performance; a walk through the decades 1965 to 2015; student-created displays of Pines Elementary School and assorted memorabilia representing 1965-2015. They also participated in an old-fashioned physical education class featuring square dancing. There additionally was a 2015 time capsule on display and participants were able to make alumni clay discs, which were fired in the kiln by the art teacher and displayed in the shape of a pine tree in honor of Pines Elementary School.
