Restaurant Day/Night - Domino's Pizza - This Wednesday
Our next Restaurant Day/Night will be held this Wednesday, December 7th from 10am to 10pm at Domino's Pizza at 18635 Soledad Canyon Road.  If you mention Pinetree Elementary when placing your order, Domino’s will donate $3.00 for each order to the Pinetree PTA. Lunch and Dinner, perhaps? :)  Domino's will also be awarding one pizza party certificate to the classroom with the highest participation in their grade for this Pizza Night! So be sure to hand in the form (link below) or mention your child(ren’s) teacher when placing your order over the phone for delivery.

Movie Night - The Grinch - This Friday
Our next move night is this 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 were distributed last week and are due by this Friday, December 9th.  Freshly made orders will be delivered to student's classrooms Wednesday, December 14th. 

Box Tops Contest - Next Round due by this Wednesday
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 ... 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.

'Flip The Switch' Solar Panel Event
Pinetree was very proud to be the hosting school for the Sulphur Springs School District "Flip The Switch" Solar Panel kickoff earlier this month. If you missed the event, SCVTv has posted a video covering the ceremony with appearances by Principal Stilson, Pinetree student Zoe Wells, the Pinetree Chorus, the Sulphur Springs District Chorus, Sulphur Springs Board Members and Pinetree's very own Pioneer Pete!

Fall Catalog Fundraiser Update
Orders will be delivered to the classrooms this 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!  Also, for all students who sold the milestone amount to attend the Dance Party, it will be taking place Thursday, December 15th from 1:45pm to dismissal.
