November is Children's Grief Awarness Month which provides us an opportunity to raise awareness about the painful impact that the death of a loved one has in the life of a child and to make sure they receive the support they need. The Pine River Area School District is working with Michael's Place to provide grief support groups for our students soon. If your child or children have been impacted by the loss of someone close to them, please let the school principal know.
The Michael's Place support group provides space and time to offer students the ability to increase healthy coping skills while reducing harmful grief reactions, improves their ability to communicate their needs to others, and normalizes grief experiences through peer support. All of these tools help to mitigate the impact of grief on academic functioning and provide life long skills.

Dear Parents, Guardians and Employees,
As we enjoy these beautiful fall days and adjust to the colder days coming this winter season, I want to remind everyone of our procedures for notifying families of school cancellations due to inclement weather. If weather conditions require us to close school, we will inform you using the following methods:
• Automated Phone Call - PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR CONTACT INFO IS CORRECT IN POWERSCHOOL!
• Automated Text Message - PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR CONTACT INFO IS CORRECT IN POWERSCHOOL!
• District Facebook Page
• Local Television – 9 & 10 News; 7 & 4 News
• We do not contact radio stations
We often send important information by email as well, so it’s imperative to make sure that your parent / guardian email address is correct on our PowerSchool system too. If you’re not sure, contact the building secretary or Linda Fullerton, Admin Assistant to the Superintendent / Board, at 231-829-3841, to verify or update it. Thank you and have a great rest of the year!
With Pride,
Michelle Gill
Superintendent

Last food service update for this National School Lunch week: Great news! We're reducing the price of an extra meal to just $1.00 so our students can eat more for less.
PRHS Sophomore Activity Update:
In Ms. Genthner's World History class, the sophomores are beginning a unit on West African Empires. As an intro activity, they went to various stations around the room to gather information in order to determine which is more valuable--gold or halite (salt). Stations included Health Benefits of Halite that included a visual of how much water and sodium our bodies lose in a typical day, advertisements for both edible gold and halite, how weapons made of gold would perform against those made of steel and more. Both gold and halite were very valuable in West African Empires, but salt was far more valuable than gold.
Thank you to our sponsor Dean's Body Shop and a big congratulations to our Buck of the week, Logan Malcomnson.
Mrs. Gill and Mrs. Delancey witnessed elementary students taking down the flag this week on another beautiful fall day. Great job girls.
Pine River High School students made a variety of items from natural resources this week in Mr. Thompson's Outdoor Education class. I wish I was still in high school!
