RaiseRight gift card orders!
The Pine Creek PTO will be offering gift card orders through the RaiseRight program again this year, just in time for Black Friday shopping!!
How this fundraiser works is, gift cards are purchased at face value to popular restaurants and retail shops through RaiseRight, and the PTO receives a portion from each sale back. It's easy and convenient way to get your holiday shopping done now or just use gift cards for your everyday purchases!!
New this year, forms will not come home with your students. You may print at home using the links below, stop by the Pine Creek office during school hours to pick your forms up, or email the PTO at pinecreekpto@gmail.com to have forms sent home with one of your students.
The PTO appreciates your support!
