New this year!

All volunteers will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win prizes at the end of the year.

The more times you volunteer, the more chances you have to win!!

The school is decorated, the students are pumped after the Pep rally, and we are kicking off the start of our annual fundraiser! Please register your children using the link below. Students receive a prize just for registering! We have a goal of getting all students to register this year!

We are celebrating all things BADGER!! 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!
