Movie Night - The Grinch
Our next move night is Friday, December 9th.  We'll be serving popcorn and drinks and watching the live action movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Have the kids wear PJs and bring a blanket to snuggle up and watch the movie.  How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a PG movie so students must bring a parent or guardian to stay off the naughty list! You never know, the big man in red himself might pop in.  You are welcome to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy during the movie. Come early for crafts and coloring!  5:30 p.m. Crafts and Coloring - 6:00 p.m. Movie Time

Krispy Kreme 6th Grade Fundraiser
Who doesn't love some Krispy Kreme doughnuts? We'll be selling a dozen doughnuts for $12 each and all proceeds will benefit the 6th Grade end of year activities.  Order forms will be distributed this week and are due by Friday, December 9th.  Orders will be delivered to student's classrooms Wednesday, December 14th.

Box Tops Contest
Keep collecting those box tops and turn them into your student's teacher.  The next prize will be awarded to the class that turns in the most box tops between November 1st and December 7th, and will be a holiday party pack which includes hot cocoa and candy canes to be delivered during the last week of school before break.  Remind your family, friends and neighbors to collect as well.  It's a FREE and EASY way to help the Pinetree PTA.

Fall Catalog Fundraiser Update
Catalog orders will be delivered to the classrooms on Friday, 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. As always, thank you for supporting the Pinetree PTA!
