A Note From the Principal

November 08, 2026

Happy Sunday, PWE Families!

This week at Piney Woods, we will focus on putting kindness, gratitude, and servant leadership! November is a great time to show kindness, give back, and let others know how much they mean to us.

Veterans Day Appreciation

We look forward to honoring the brave men and women who have chosen to serve our country during our Veterans Day Appreciation Presentation. We are thankful for their courage and commitment to protecting our freedoms!

World Kindness Day

We will celebrate World Kindness Day by wearing yellow and reminding our Wildcats that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference!

Campus Food Drive

Our campus food drive is another way to put servant leadership into action. Thank you for helping our Wildcats learn the importance of giving back and caring for others.

At Piney woods, we want our students to understand that leadership isn't just about leading others—it's about serving others. Thank you for helping us build a campus where kindness, compassion, and service are part of who we are!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Hill

Principal, Piney Woods Elementary

Foundation Corner

Big Ideas Start in Our Classrooms!

Behind every creative classroom idea is a teacher who wants to give students something special. The Splendora ISD Education Foundation helps bring those ideas to life through educator grants funded by generous donors and community partners. Thank you to everyone who helps create more opportunities for our Wildcats to learn, explore, and grow!
