Spirit Day Volunteers Needed!
The PTO is looking for volunteers on the first Friday of each month to help with the popcorn treat! If you are able to volunteer your time, please sign up below!
Because this volunteer opportunity is during school hours, non-school aged children are not able to attend with their parents.
Parent Work Night Volunteers Needed!
Want to volunteer but can't find time during the workday? Join us to help cut, sort, staple and paste projects for Pine Creek staff every third Monday of the month!
Volunteer Raffle Prize Drawing!
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!!

Badger Bash
Watch for information coming to your family soon on how to register your children and participate in the annual fundraiser! 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!
