Thank you to all the Pine Creek families who helped make Ms. Dellwo's birthday so awesome this year! Pine Creek is an amazing place and it would not be as special without our leader and friend!

Help the PTO show some holiday love to the support staff at Pine Creek and join us in a Support Staff Secret Santa Surprise! If you would like to donate, please choose from the list of staff members below and send a gift to school for them by Friday, December 20th in time for winter break.

We have included a list of all their favorite snacks, drinks and stores! $20 maximum per staff member.

Want to donate but no time to shop? The PTO will do the shopping for you!! Venmo your $20 donation and the PTO will shop for staff members that do not have a Secret Santa.

Thank you for supporting the PTO and Pine Creek!

Thank you to everyone who helped the PTO stock the staff lounge with drinks and grab and go snacks! The staff and PTO appreciate your support!
