MEET OUR OFFICE STAFF

I am your principal, Kathryn Arnold. I welcome you to the Pinewood Website. This is my fifth year at Pinewood. Prior to coming to Pinewood I was an Assistant Principal at Oakleigh Elementary. Before my administrative experience I mentored new teachers in the Southwest. In my first years in the county system I was a music teacher in schools primarily in the northwest portion of the county. I received my undergraduate degree in education from Mansfield University and my Masters in Administration from Loyola College.

I have two children. My son is a senior at Emory University and my daughter is a freshman at Alabama. My husband and I miss our son and daughter but stay very busy with our cat and new dog(puppy)!

We are very proud of the Pinewood students and encourage you to be a Pinewood volunteer. We welcome your support and involvement. Stop by my office to say "hi".

Thank you for the warm welcome to Pinewood Elementary this past year. I am delighted to be part of such a supportive school community and enjoy working with such wonderful children. I came to Pinewood from a neighboring school, Cromwell Valley Elementary Regional Magnet School of Technology in Towson, where I taught fourth and fifth grade. I received my Masters in Teaching from Towson University and earned my Administrator I certification through Goucher College.

I am a “career changer” having worked in business management and been a stay at home mother for many years. I am married and have three wonderful children. My daughter graduated from college in May 2007, my eldest son is a junior in college, and my youngest son is a junior in high school.

I am looking forward to another year working with the Pinewood students, parents, faculty, and staff and feel privileged to be part of such a positive school community!

Hi! I am the Administrative Office Professional at Pinewood Elementary. It is a pleasure working with the Pinewood students and their families. Everyone is so friendly! Before transferring to Pinewood I was at Oakleigh Elementary for 11 years. Before my educational experience I was in the Corporate Accounting department of Alexander and Alexander in Owings Mills.

I am married and have two children who always make me proud! My son Andrew is a refrigeration technician for L. H. Cranston and my daughter Megan is a RN on staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. Megan and her husband Bobby have a wonderful daughter, Taylor Elizabeth, who I love spending time with! We have two dogs, a black Labrador named Shadow and a brown Labrador named Holly.

I enjoy reading a good book, snow skiing, going to the beach, spending time with my nieces and nephews, and my passion is high performance boating on the Chesapeake Bay!!!

Please do not hesitate to contact me.

This is my second year at Pinewood Elementary and I feel very much at home. It has been wonderful getting to know all of your children. This is a wonderful community!

I have 3 children and an adoring husband. We just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. My husband is a Baltimore County Police Officer and my 19 year old son will soon follow in his footsteps. He is presently a cadet for the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Dept. I have 2 daughters who both attend Baltimore County Schools.

Before becoming employed with Baltimore County schools, I was a stay at home mom and a very involved parent at school. Both my husband and I served as PTA Presidents, each for 3 years. I was a substitute teacher and was involved in numerous school committees. I can appreciate all of the hard work that goes into volunteering and give you all a thousand kudos!!’ Pinewood has a wonderful PTA board and so many fabulous hard working volunteers. You should all be very proud.

I absolutely love working here in the front office at Pinewood. I have known Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Nossel for 12 years, and it is a dream come true to be working alongside them. With Mrs. Rueter being part of the office team we have become one “happy” office family!!! I hope this doesn’t go unnoticed. Please come by and say “hi” or contact me anytime!
