A Farewell to Ms. Zaldua

Dear Ms. Zaldua,

In the words of Winnie the Pooh, how lucky are we to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Many would not have given their time and energy as freely and as willingly to a school as you have for ours. You are a special kind of generous, a special kind of principal. We are incredibly lucky to have had someone so kind, so genuine, and so patient in our children's lives...guiding them down the halls and through the years. Thank you for loving them all as your own.

Best of luck to you in your new position with MDCPS. Your Pinecrest family celebrates all that you have accomplished and will always be here to welcome you back to campus with open arms and loving hearts.

With Love and Appreciation,

The Parents of Pinecrest Elementary School

Trunk or Treat

Parrot Families!

You asked and we listened...

PTA is bringing Halloween fun to Pinecrest Elementary!

Join us for our first ever TRUNK OR TREAT event on Friday, October 22nd.

You may participate in several ways:

Car Participant

We need families to decorate their PARKED vehicles along our trick or treat path. On the date of the event, cars will park in reverse along 57th Avenue and (for safety reasons) must be in place and decorated by 4:45pm. Students will begin trick or treating along the sidewalk in front of the school at 5:00pm. The final session will end at 6:45pm, at which point, all vehicles may remove their decorations and leave. We ask that you provide enough candy for 300 students; however, if you need assistance with purchasing candy, PTA can help.

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT, ALL CAR PARTICIPANTS MUST MEET OUR PTA VOLUNTEERS ON 104TH STREET TO RECEIVE THEIR ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE BETWEEN 4:00-4:30PM.

Trick or Treaters

Join the fun, dress up in your best costumes, and parade along the sidewalk to collect candy from all the car participants. If your last name begins with A-L, please register for the 5:00-5:45pm session. If your last name begins with M-Z, please register for the 6:00-6:45pm session.

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT, ALL TRICK OR TREATERS MUST CHECK IN AT THE REGISTRATION TABLE LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF 57TH AVENUE AND 102ND STREET AT THEIR

DESIGNATED TIMES.

Volunteer at the Event

In order to make this a successful event, we need your help. Please consider volunteering to help set up, work the event, or take down/clean up after the event. We are also accepting donations of Halloween decorations and candy.

Please visit our website for all the details and to register your students.

We can't wait to "spook" you there!

Bedtime Stories with Ms. Gomez

Join our “Out of this World” librarian, Ms. Gomez, for some virtual Halloween bedtime stories. This PTA sponsored event is open to all; however, the stories will be geared towards our younger Pinecrest Parrots (PreK - 2nd grade).

Please register below. Zoom information will be sent to all registrants on the day of the event.

Birthday Book Club

We invite you to celebrate your child’s special day with a Birthday Book and help build the L.I.F.E. Media Center’s collection! When your child is registered, he/she will receive an invitation to the Media Center to select a book of their choice. A dedication bookplate will be mounted inside the book to commemorate this special birthday, and your child will receive a birthday book pencil, along with a bookmark. Your child may take the book home to enjoy and then return it to the permanent collection in our school library to be shared with everyone. During the month of your child’s birthday, his/her photo showcasing the book of their choice will air on our morning WPEN Broadcast Show.

NOTE: Currently, we are accepting only AUGUST and SEPTEMBER birthdays. Once we catch up and celebrate our summer birthday students, we will open it up for the rest of the year.

We look forward to celebrating your child and seeing them live on WPEN!

PTA Corporate Sponsor

Opportunities Available

One of the many things that makes Pinecrest Elementary special is the relationships that are formed between our families and with our school. PTA wants to foster more of these relationships. Instead of selling chocolates and wrapping paper with companies that are not our own, we want to promote you and work to build our Pinecrest community.

This year, our PTA is offering Corporate Sponsorships, and we want you, our families, to hear about it first! Please see the information below and reach out to our committee if you're interested in promoting your business and supporting our school's PTA. It's a win-win for all!
