Fall Catalog Fundraiser   
Just a reminder that our catalog fundraiser orders were due this past Friday.  If you haven't turned them in yet, please bring to the office or your student's teacher as soon as possible.  Please make sure checks are written out to Pinetree PTA and no sales tax should be added to any order.  Orders should be delivered to the school and distributed to the students around December 12th.  As always, thank you so much for your support.
Proceeds from this Fundraiser go to fund our student's Enrichment classes and Field Trips. Click here to view the Catalog Fundraiser Information Sheet

Box Tops Fall Contest
Thank you to everyone who submitted their box tops this past round for the Fall Contest.  The tally has been counted and congrats goes out to Burkman (Primary) and Pithey (Upper) classes.  Keep collecting those box tops and turning them into your teacher.  Our next contest will end in January (more info to come).  With all the box tops that have been submitted the first two rounds, Pinetree PTA will be receiving a check around $775 which will go to help fund enrichment classes and field trips.  Woo Hoo!
Here are the tallies for the Fall Contest:

30th Birthday Celebration
Thank you to everyone who made it out to the 30th Birthday Celebration.  It was so special to see everyone get together to celebrate Pinetree's 30 Years of Excellence.  Special thank you to the Sulphur Springs School District and the Pinetree Teachers & Staff who made this a really great event. 

If you didn't make it out, you can view a video from SCVtv that features the full opening ceremony followed by clips from various aspects of the event including the Pop-Up Museum put together by the Pinetree PTA in the MPR.

Spirit Bundles
In celebration of Pinetree’s Big 30th Birthday year, the Pinetree PTA would like to introduce Spirit Bundles as a new way you can help the Pinetree PTA.  In return, you receive great goodies and recognition. We have multiple donation tiers to choose from, you can donate on behalf of your family or business name and one of the best parts - your donation is tax deductible.  This will help get Pinetree PTA on a great fundraising head start for the school year and depending on the tier, you will be able to get everything Pinetree PTA has to offer for the school year.  Pinetree PTA Fundraising provides complete funding for our enrichment classes including art and music instruction, as well as supporting classroom needs, field trips and school wide improvements.

Join the Pinetree PTA!
Let's see if we can bypass last year's membership total.  If you haven't joined the Pinetree PTA, make sure to join today!  We're less than 30 members away from passing last year's total!

As you can see, we have kicked off our Membership drive with a cool "Rock & Roll" theme because Pinetree PTA Members Rock! 

Come join the Pinetree PTA and have a voice in your child's education.  Please note that joining the PTA doesn't require you to attend the meetings or volunteer although we and your students would LOVE if you did.  The Pinetree PTA was able to increase the membership count in the 2017-18 year by over 10% over the 2016-17 school year.  Let's show that we can do it again.
