Welcome Back!

Hi, Pioneers!  Welcome back to our returning families, and a big Pinetree welcome to our new families!  Our PTA has some really fun things planned for this year.  Our first meeting will be held on Friday, August 26 at 5:30 p.m. followed by our first Free Family Event of the year.  Our Pinetree kids are always welcome at PTA meetings, and we’ll be offering something fun for them to do at each meeting while we take care of any business items.  Bring the kiddos for craft time during our first meeting, and stay for Zootopia on the big screen, popcorn and refreshments, and catching up with all the families you’ve been missing over the summer!

Right from the start, you’ll notice some changes to our TriRAthon, which we are calling the Academic Olympics this year.  Students will be competing on one of 6 different teams during this 2 week challenge, culminating with our awesome new Academic Olympics relay on September 9.  This will be a fun event full of survivor-style academic and physical challenges.  In addition to the individual prizes we offer each year, the winning team will all earn a special prize.  The kids that bring in over $100 in pledges will earn a handprint on our brand new mural wall!  Look for more details to come home in the next few weeks.

PTA is proud to sponsor Music, Art and Drama classes for all of our students each year, as well as Brain Pop for all of the classrooms, new library books, classroom materials, fun family activities, field trips and assemblies and so much more!  We could not do this without the support of our Pinetree families.  For the PTA to be effective and truly represent our school, your participation is essential.  Whether you are able to help out by becoming a PTA member, volunteering at events, supporting our fundraisers, attending our PTA meetings, and/or volunteering in the classroom, we appreciate your support.  We want everyone to feel that they are part of the Pinetree Community.  Your ideas, time, talents and input make a difference!

We look forward to getting to know you all better this year!  Make sure to bookmark our website www.pinetreepta.org  for all the latest Pinetree PTA information and also follow us on Facebook @PinetreeCommunitySchoolPTA

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have as we settle in.  See you soon!
