Dear Parents and Students,
It is hard to believe that we have entered into the month of November. As the cold weather sets in, I pray that our hearts will be warmed with peace from our Lord and Savior.
Please mark your calendar:
PTF has scheduled a Fundraiser dinner at Sweet Tomatoes for November 18th, from 4-8. Hope to see you there!
TOGETHER WE CAN FOOD DRIVE:
Once again we have the privilege to help the families of Pinedale this Holiday season! We will be collecting CANned food Nov. 12th thru Dec. 6th to distribute through the Pinedale Book Buddies program. Our High School students are already volunteering as Book Buddies and we would like to continue our support for their programs.
Our delivery this year will help families by providing food for Christmas. Pinedale resource leaders put together a list of items most used in the community (see back of flyer sent home). Please make sure to check this list before you shop.
