Thank you everyone who came out to our Drive-Thru Winter Wonderland.  The turnout was amazing.  A special thanks to those volunteers who came out to help up, and especially to Santa who gave up some Christmas preparation time to be with us!

Please send any pictures of your students to yearbook@pinetreepta.org
Come join us on the 15th at Chipotle to support your PTA.  Chipotle is donating 33% of proceeds!
REMINDER:  Friday, December 18, between 2pm - 5pm is the pick-up time for any purchases made at the Holiday Gift Shop.  
Amazon Smile
Since you're buying things already, why not help support your school at the same time? One of the easiest ways to support your school is to do what you would already do anyway!  Please consider using Amazon Smile to support Pinetree Community School while making that purchase.  We greatly appreciate it.

AmazonSmile and Amazon will donate a percentage of every purchase to Pinetree PTA. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service. Instead of going directly to the amazon.com url when shopping, book mark https://smile.amazon.com and choose one time that you want to support "Pinetree Community School PTA" and everytime you shop through that link going forward, you're supporting your child's school.  It's as easy as that!

Also, Good news! AmazonSmile is now available in the Amazon Shopping App to all AmazonSmile customers using supported Android devices or Apple IOS devices.  Just search AmazonSmile in the item search field for instructions on how to add AmazonSmile to your app.
Box Tops to Support Pinetree PTA
Yet another way you can support the Pinetree PTA is by continuing to scan your store receipts on the official box tops app and contributing them to Pinetree Community School.  We greatly appreciate your support.

There are some BIG changes happening to one of the easiest ways to raise money for Pinetree School. For every Box Top that is turned in, Pinetree earns 10 cents. Last year, we have collected nearly $1,000 for our students. However, how you collect Box Tops has changed this year…it has gone digital!
 
Box Tops is slowly transitioning to no longer printing Box Tops on the packaging of products, that is why it is so important to download the app and start scanning. However, until then, please keep clipping and sending any Box Tops that you may find. We will be earning money for Pinetree both ways.  We suggest anytime you go food shopping, go ahead and scan that receipt in the app.  The app will look at each of the items and do the work for you to see if any of the items qualify for a box top and automatically contribute it to Pinetree.  Please note you have to scan the receipt within 14 days of the purchase.

Check out the video below for more information on this change:
See how easy it is to earn for your school with the NEW Box Tops App! Watch this how-to video to for a simple, step-by-step explanation of how it works—then give it a try yourself.

Buy your Pinetree Spiritwear now!!!

We all know, now more than ever, there are many Heroes in this world.  And we know here at Pinetree, we have many up and coming heroes in the making.  To go with that, we'd like to introduce our new spiritwear design "Pioneers Assemble" for the 2020-21 school year (see picture below).  Same great low prices as always including the awesome "2 for $20" deal.  We brought back the women's v-necks and the cool glitter print this year too. 

We also ordered some more of the popular 2019-20 "Dino-Mite" spiritwear which we'll be selling at a discounted price to give your student's some options.   
If you live in the Pinetree neighborhood, we can deliver to your front porch if you like. Please just make sure to change the pickup option to the deliver option and provide your address when checking out.

If you prefer to pickup, we are now also doing weekly weekly pickups in the school office on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm.  Please make sure to follow instructions provided at checkout. All orders need to be completed on our new redesigned spiritwear shop online via debit/credit card. We will not be accepting cash or check for them this year until it's safe to do so.

Also, please note you can get some of the great spiritwear as part of your Spirit Bundle purchase.  Please see more information on Spirit Bundles in the article below.

Don't forget about Spritwear Fridays to show your Pinetree Pride.

Spirit Bundles are Back!
The Pinetree PTA is happy to bring back Pinetree Spirit Bundles as an easy way you can help donate to the Pinetree PTA.  In return for your donation, you’ll 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 and depending on the tier, you will be able to get everything Pinetree PTA has to offer throughout 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.

Facebook Profile Pic Frames
The Pinetree PTA thought it would be fun to help everyone show their Pinetree Pride on Facebook by introducing Facebook Profile Pic Frames for you to add to your existing profile picture.  We created two general ones for our parents and families.  You can even setup up the frames to be active for a certain period of time at which Facebook will change your picture back to your existing Facebook profile picture automatically.  There are two ways you can add them, one is visit our Pinetree PTA Facebook Page (link at button below) and you can click the "Try It" button under the frame you like as they are each posted on our wall.  Second option is...

How do I find Pinetree's profile pic frames on Facebook?
