Dear Parents/Guardians,
Please help to keep our school safe by refraining from parking in the fire lane in front of the school, especially when picking up your child(ren) from aftercare or after school events. Cars parked in the fire lanes prevent emergency vehicles from assisting our school if necessary. It has also become a traffic hazard for drivers backing out of designated parking spaces and navigating through the parking lot. Please remember that parking in a fire lane may result in a citation from the Pembroke Pines Police Department. Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation.

Pembroke Pines-Florida State University Charter Elementary School, 601 SW 172nd Ave, will host its annual “Community Reading Day” on Thursday, January 26, 2012. City officials, Community VIPS and business people will participate in the Community Reading Day beginning at 9:00am until 11:30a.m.
This year our Community Reading day will feature the award winning books by author Judith Byron Schachner. In 1995 Judith wrote and illustrated her first picture book, Willy and May, and has turned out a number of projects since then. “The wonderful thing about my job is that one day I can be writing about history, as I did in Mr. Emerson’s Cook. The next day I’m drawing a wacky old woman for I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. Or I can bring to life a beloved pet cat in my book The Grannyman. I live in a constant state of 3rd grade bliss - making up stories and drawing pictures. Isn’t that what we all did as children?” “How the Cat Swallowed Thunder proves that dreams really do come true."
“Our students always enjoy the Community Reading Day. The community readers bring a lot of excitement and reading enjoyment into our classrooms,” said Luz Wittyngham from the Pembroke Pines-Florida State University Charter Elementary School. “Community Reading Day is very exciting, as well as, all the other activities that take place during Literacy Week. The students love to hear stories and participate in follow-up activities. Community readers always ask us to invite them back every year! It’s a fabulous event!” said Lissette Castillo, Media Teacher from the Pines-Florida State University Charter Elementary School.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The PTA would like to wish every Charter family a very happy Holiday Season and a safe New Year! We also wanted to update you on our school-wide technology initiatives. We have completed our 1st phase of our technology initiative for every classroom to be equipped with technology except for only 6 remaining classrooms. Each classroom was equipped with an overhead mounted projector, document scanner and video\dvd player for system integration. This greatly enhanced the teaching experience for our students and integrated our school-wide news program with our new technology in each classroom. It also eliminated the need for TVs in each classroom and provided more educational space for everyone. The proposed quotes from 3 vendors were over $4,830 per classroom and the PTA negotiated and obtained the technology for $2,500 per classroom. The PTA saved over $42,000 in donations and installation as Tirone Electric and the Morgan\Cilli family donated all installation services and time to the school. Tirone Electric provided equipment quotes for 1/2 the cost of all competitors. What an achievement for our 1st year.

The Jaguar Knights Chess Team from Pembroke Pines Charter Middle School West Campus competed in the National Youth Action-East Tournament held in Miami. The Jaguar Knights took home the ninth-place trophy in the very competitive nail-biting competition. Twenty-one schools from New York to Florida competed in the kindergarten through ninth grade division. There were 101 players competing in the nine-round, two-day tournament.
In addition to the ninth-place trophy the Jaguar Knights placed very respectfully in the individual standings: Anuj Sood – 62nd, with four points; Vinay Chitepu – 70th with four points; Colin Web – 84th with two points; and Kyle Webb – 93rd, with one and a half points. “I am very proud of our players, especially considering the lack of experience on the part of some of our team!” said Sandi Lieber, the Chess Team Sponsor who teaches Intensive Reading to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.
The PPCMS-West Jaguar Knights Chess Club boasts thirty-six members. “We select our team based on interest, not ability – anyone can play in any tournament if they choose, regardless of his or her level of expertise,” said a very proud Lieber.

“This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to help differently abled children experience the fair shows and attractions,” said Kimberly Scarola, Future Educators Advisor. Through their volunteer work the students gained firsthand experience in teaching and assisting students with special needs. “It was a heart-warming experience for our students. They demonstrated patience and kindness well beyond their years,” said Mari Soliman co-sponsor of the Builders club. “I am so proud of our PPCMS students.” Soliman and fellow teacher Piper Spencer are co-sponsors of the Builders Club. “There is an ongoing national shortage of teachers who are certified to work with special-needs students. Hopefully service activities like this one will ignite an interest in some of our students and help fulfill that need,” concluded Scarola.
