Pinnacle Academy

Many events took place on Saturday, December 12, 2009. Some of Pinnacle's
5th - 7th graders went to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC with
Miss Laura and Ms. Bergeron. We also had two wonderful chaperons join us on
the trip: Reyhan's aunt and Abdullah's sister. The main reason for this
field trip was to allow the students to look a variety of art and do their
art writing assignment. This marking period, students in 5th - 7th grades
are required to visit an art museum in the Washington, DC area and write a
one to two page essay on their favorite work of art and overall museum
 experience. They will also be rewarded extra credit if they include a picture of themselves jumping in front of the art museum!

On Saturday, December 12th 6th grade students, members of Future City Club and Mathcounts had breakfast at school cafeteria.

On Saturday, December 12th 6th grade students went Ice Arena in Fairfax. The first ten minutes  felt a bit awkward but then we seem to remember how to move and we're off! We leaned not to be afraid to fall. Ice is hard, but you're more likely to fall when you're too careful. We  wore gloves and a hat though, they protected us. The children had a wonderful time.Ice Skating was fun :)
