Pine Island Academy\u2019s first quarter ended with a variety of entertaining party rooms such as an art room, movie room, and more.<\/p>\n
Each student ranked the PBIS party rooms, from their top choice to their least favorite. The faculty took each student\u2019s preferred room into account but ultimately those with the highest number of PBIS points were assigned their rooms first. There was a variety of different rooms including art, recess, video game, movie, technology, terrarium, gym, social and board game. The event took place on the last Friday of the first quarter, Oct. 13, 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy room went great. I had the technology room,\u201d seventh grade CSD teacher Laurieann Lawson remarked. \u201cI thought it went fantastic. I didn\u2019t hear any complaints from any students or teachers, so I think it went well,\u201d Lawson added.<\/p>\n
Like Lawson who had volunteered to host a room, PIA media specialist Stefanie Myers offered to host a room in the library as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are building terrariums which are closed ecosystems, like the Earth is a closed ecosystem,\u201d said Myers, \u201ceverything the plants need to survive is going to be contained within a clear plastic container with a lid on top.\u201d<\/p>\n
PIA seventh grader Lucy Sarafin was one of the students chosen for the terrarium room.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was very fun, and we got to learned about terrariums, ecosystems and the water cycle,\u201d Sarafin commented. \u201cIf there\u2019s anything like the terrarium room again, I\u2019d definitely pick it,\u201d she later added.<\/p>\n
While some have labeled the celebration a success and others have given positive feedback you might be wondering, will the PBIS rooms be back next quarter?<\/p>\n
\u201cNot rooms we have more coming. Stay tuned,\u201d PIA principal Amanda Riedl says, \u201cI will say this though, at the end of every quarter, there is what we call an end of the quarter celebration, and so we don\u2019t want to do the same thing every quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
