Fundraiser - Thank you!
Thank you to all the Pioneers who sold items for our Fall Fundraiser.  Orders will be distributed to students on or before December 9th.  If your student sold a large amount of items and takes the bus or goes to after school care, we suggest you make arrangements to come pick up the items from the school.

Pinetree Yearbooks
Fliers went home last week for the 2016-17 Pinetree Yearbook.  Prices start at just $22 for paperback or $28 for hardcover with available upgrades such as personalized cover, autograph pages, Zoom current events insert and stickies.  The deadline to get the yearbook at these prices is January 31st, 2017. After this date, prices will increase so we suggest pre-ordering now and save! 
You can use the flier to pay by check or you can pay online with debit/credit card at the Lifetouch site.

"Flip The Switch" Solar Panel Party
Sulphur Springs School District has chosen our Pinetree Community School to be the hosting campus for the big "Flip The Switch" Solar Panel Kick-off Party for the whole district.  The party is this Thursday, November 10th at 3:30pm on our large grass field.  The Pinetree chorus will be performing and Pinetree PTA President Ginny Well's Daughter - Zoe Wells will lead the Pledge of Allegiance.  This is a major event and we hope to see some Pinetree Parents and students attend and show how great our school is.

Our next PTA Meeting is Thursday, 11/17 at 6:00pm followed by the Reflections Gala at 6:30pm where all pieces will be showcased and the chosen pieces that will move on to the district judging will be awarded.  Come view the great artwork our Pinetree Pioneers worked so hard on!  Light refreshments will also be served.
