Students can win a chance to win raffle prizes, classroom prizes and individual prizes by gathering donations from friends, family and neighbors.
As a reminder, our annual fundraiser is necessary to ensure the PTO can continue to provide needed support to the students and staff at Pine Creek!
This year we are raising money to fund our annual budget and also for the newly installed playground expansion!!
We are in need of parent volunteers at various times throughout the two weeklong fundraising event. If you are available to help, please see the sign up below!
