Celebrations Around The World
Come celebrate and learn about the diverse population found at Pinetree. Each country represented will be giving a tale to showcase their celebration. It's up to you how you want to share your country's festive occasion. You can showcase food, games, geographical location, music, traditional clothing or whatever else you'd like to represent your country. This is a fun night for the whole family!  Celebrations Around The World will take place Friday, February 10th.  If you would like to participate and represent your country, please make sure to fill out and return the flyer that will be coming home soon.
