Big Thanks!

We would like to thank Michelle Sacks, from Crimestoppers (and POMS parent) for meeting with our 7th and 8th graders last week to help them make safer and more responsible choices with social media.  The students were engaged throughout the presentation, and walked away more informed.  

Our 6th graders will participate in a similar presentation this week on Friday.

GIVING TREE DEADLINE - 4/7 

APRIL 7th IS THE DEADLINE TO ORDER LEAVES & BOULDERS TO BE INSTALLED BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!

Your child or your family can be part of Pin Oak history forever with an engraved leaf or stone on the Pin Oak Giving Tree at the front entry of the school. It is a great way for 8th graders to leave a memory marker at Pin Oak or to commemorate the end of a great 6th grade year.

Place online orders here: http://pinoakpto.org/pin-oak-tree/. If you have any questions, please email Lauren Earthman at learthman@sbcglobal.net.

Pin Oak Idol Auditions 

If your child is interested in auditioning for Pin Oak Idol, students should pick up a packet from Mr. Dabbs and receive an assigned audition time.  Audition pieces must be performance ready

Shout Out!

We are so proud of Thomas Raguso!  He represented Pin Oak this week in back-to-back academic competition, Nat Geo Bee on Friday and the Houston Public Media Spelling Bee on Saturday.  #ChargerProud

What Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

At POMS it's the chicken!  Our Urban Agriculture class welcomes 4 new hens to the program.  The students have built the chicken coop and will be working this week to build a larger enclosed ranging area.  We look forward to providing vegetables and fresh eggs at our next Urban Farmers' Market.  

We are collecting clean egg cartons.  Please drop off your used but clean egg cartons in the main office.
