Get Your BBQ Tickets! 

If you are planning to attend the Homecoming Game and Boosters BBQ on October 13, and would like to enjoy the delicious BBQ, it's highly recommended that you pre-order tickets, as it has sold out in the past. 

If you don't know an Upper School fall athlete selling tickets, Mrs. Massimini will be setting up tables in the Upper and Middle Schools during lunch to sell tickets. Families may send in cash or check.

Anatomy & Physiology Class Studies Fingerprints

Copy Volunteers Needed!  

Do you have 1 or 2 hours a week to volunteer in the Lower School?  

During 2010-2011 school year,  we started a Lower School copy initiative.  This copy initiative was run by a special group of volunteers.  The volunteers were responsible for copying, laminating, etc. classroom material for the teachers.  This allowed the associate teachers to remain in the classrooms to assist with classroom activities.  It has been a complete success!

We are looking to add to this group of volunteers.  If you have a hour or two every week or every other week, please consider this volunteer option.   There are many times and days available as we copy every day of the week.  Each day of the week will be a different grade level and one Kindergarten teacher to run copies for.  The returning volunteers will train you one on one so you are comfortable with the process and the copiers.  A background check is not required to copy.

If you would like to be part of this group, please click on the link below to sign up for a time to be trained.  For further information or any questions, please email Terri Crossin at terri.crossin@pinelakeprep.org .  


Thank you for your support!
