Box Tops Holiday Party Contest Winner!
Congrats to Mrs. Nystrom's class who just barely edged out the win for this round of the box top collection contest.  Because the 2nd place class was ONLY 7 box tops away, they'll also be winning a Holiday party so congrats also goes out to Mrs. Childs' class!  Our next round will be due in early 2017 so keep collecting and remind your family, friends and neighbors to collect as well.  It's a FREE and EASY way to help the Pinetree PTA.

Movie Night - Thank You!
Thank you to everyone that came out to our movie night this past Friday featuring the "The Grinch."  We even had a special visit by Santa himself who handed out candy canes to all Pioneers who attended.  Stay tuned as we have more fun and exciting events planned for 2017!
