26 Things You Understand If You Went/Go to PPS

Pinewood was my home for fourteen years and I can still still say that after a year of college, it always will be. I have been around for two different headmasters and learned to love both of them for different reasons. I graduated with some of the same friends that I had in K4 and had some of the best teachers that inspired me to major in education! Pinewood means more to me than some silly list but if you attend or have attended, you can most likely relate to a few of these...

1. You either live two minutes away or up to an hour, but you and your parents know the drive is worth it.

2. The walk of shame you have to walk when you don’t have your lunch card.

3. “Coach Wright for Prez.”

4. You know not to touch the map in Mr. Stjern’s room.

5. Most likely you know your teacher’s spouse’s name and/or their kids.

6. You like physics but most likely only because Mr. Brice taught it and you love that he loves his job.

7. Bulford's baby blue pep rally suit.

8. You have picked Blue Crew over work/homework.

9. You imagine angels look and act like Mrs. Coyle. (She is also an amazing teacher, don’t forget to tell her that too.)

10. Trying to explain to other schools that our private school “isn’t like the other private schools.”

11. You know the teachers that stash candy and they’re willing to share.

12. Mrs. Chrom is style goals!

13. You could write a research paper in your sleep. (Thank Mrs. BK)

14. You follow Merrell and her camera at sporting events.

15. When you hear there will be a substitute, you pray it is Mrs. Bilsback.

16. Mr. Stone has scared you at least once or twice with his podium.

17. You are prepared to talk about the SAT/ACT, college, and or scholarships whenever Mr. Difley enters a room (Listen to what he says.)

18. You have cheered for a score board when every other school would have given up.

19. You possibly have gone to school with some of your friends since K4.

20. You know everything about everyone.

21. The teachers know everything about everyone as well, even if they wish they didn’t.

22. The lower school children look at you like you’re a rock star.

23. You can name anyone you walk pass, including middle schoolers.

24. Seeking Mr. Ruddy’s approval because you want to be as cool as him.

25. The word "jazzy" means something to you.

26. You have described PPS as a family at least once since you have attended.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
