Principal - Allie Storti
Pinewood's New Principal
Effective July 1, Andrew Skinner will succeed Allie Storti who announced
earlier this spring she had decided to step down as principal at the end of this
school year.
Andrew brings 12 years of Mounds View Public Schools experience to
Pinewood. He is currently serving as dean of students at Edgewood Middle
School.
I know you will hear from Andrew in the coming weeks as he prepares his
transition to Pinewood. I hope you will join me in welcoming him to Pinewood.
Sincerely, Dan Hoverman, Superintendent Pinewood's Ongoing Instructional
Model

We are fortunate here at Pinewood to have ever-growing educational resources
to support individualized instruction for EVERY student. We continue to access
EVERY student's educational needs on a continual basis and to place, develop
and support your student as to make sure he/her is challenged educationally.
We are thankful for the resources, staffing and funding the district provides to
Pinewood to make sure all of these programs continue to flourish. The
Pinewood Staff takes great pride in making sure YOUR child is met and taught
exactly where he/she is at.

The 36 member group advanced twice during the
competition, placing 3rd and 6th respectively in
their first two performances. In their finals
performance, the drumline scored a season high
