A huge thank you to Principals Leah White and Jenny Ferreira, Pinehurst Mayor Skip Robinett, Superintendent Lance Pearson, Felicia Cassidy of Alta Science & Engineering, Greg Stewart of Stewart Contracting, and Trustees Bonnie Farmin & John Schroeder for joining us for this special event.

And an extra big shoutout to our PES students — Emrick Hegbloom, Ava O’Neill, Lola Hall, Penny Fritz, Camry Skiles, Nayla O’Neill, Casen Skiles, and Issac O’Hara-Sparks — for performing the official ribbon-cutting duties! ✂️👏

An Exciting Day at Pinehurst Elementary!

Today marks a very special day at Pinehurst Elementary. At 5 PM, we’ll cut the ribbon to officially “open” the new playground! While students have been enjoying it daily since the first week of school, this ceremony gives us the opportunity to recognize the many individuals and organizations who made this project a reality.

Our sincere thanks to:
Alta Science & Engineering – Felicia Cassidy & Brennan Steele
Idaho Department of Environmental Quality – Andy Helkey
Stewart Contracting – Greg Stewart
Pinehurst Elementary PTA – Sarah Mason
EPA – CDA Basin Cleanup

This project has been years in the making, and seeing hundreds of students enjoy it each day brings immense satisfaction to everyone who contributed. More than just a playground, this space is a true centerpiece of the Pinehurst community.
Pinehurst Elementary sits right in the heart of town, and its grounds are a gathering place year round. Home to baseball games, family fun nights, youth basketball, and much more. On weekends, you’ll often find families shooting hoops, playing catch, or sharing a moment on the swings. This playground is not only a gift to today’s students, but also a lasting symbol of community pride and investment in future generations.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in bringing this project to life and invite the community to continue supporting those who work hard to make great things happen for our schools and our community.

Congrats to our amazing students who participated in the Panhandle Health lead health poster contest. Huge congrats to one of our 4th grade students for being one of the winners of the contest.
