 Academic Olympics Update Is your Pioneer's color team in the lead? After our Pioneers ran the awesome obstacle course this past Friday - The purple team earned the most points during the course and went from last to first place in an amazing comeback. But there is still time to change that. We're still accepting pledges all this next week.Do you want to dethrone the two top earners and get those Six Flags tickets? Right now, Charley Vargas is our top earner with $1,270 followed by Teddy Alexander with $465.  Academic Olympics We are wrapping up our Academic Olympics Fundraising Event but there is still time to get those pledges in! Fliers have gone home and all students were assigned a color team in this school-wide event. Points will be earned for their team through donations (1 point for each dollar sponsored). Each student that receives at least $10 in sponsorship will begin receiving prizes. The more sponsorships a student receives, the more prizes they will receive (see prize list below). Top prizes include a hand print on our ocean mural wall (for over $100 in sponsorship) and the student that brings in the most sponsorship will win a family four pack of tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain and the student that brings in the 2nd most sponsorship will win a pair of tickets. Make sure to ask all your friends and family to help sponsor your Pioneer. We'll even have a link on our website where out of state family and friends will be able to donate via credit/debit card. Don't forget if you purchase a spirit bundle during the Academic Olympics, the amount donated will go to your Pioneer's team color and they'll receive the fun prizes listed below based on the tier purchased. More information on Spirit Bundles below. This event is ran in house by the Pinetree PTA to ensure all profits from this fundraiser go directly to our students! Funds raised help us make our first payment for our Music, Art and Drama enrichment classes, pay for Brain Pop for all classrooms, the Reflections art competition, and countless other beginning of the year activities that give our Pinetree Pioneers a well rounded education.
