The PTA Fall Festival fundraiser is October 20, 2023! Traditionally, every grade makes a themed basket to raffle off at the festival. These gift baskets raise on average $700- $1,000 for Pinchbeck. Donations for the gift baskets can be sent into school with your child or dropped off in  the tote outside the Pinchbeck front office marked "Fall Festival Gift Baskets". Please label your donation with your child’s grade level.

All donations should be at Pinchbeck by 2:30pm Wednesday, October 11th.

To sign up for a donation, go to https://pinchbeckpta.membershiptoolkit.com/roomparents

Our FREE Grade level shirts have arrived and need to be sorted for delivery to all students! Just show up in the cafeteria- we’ll be ready with bags labeled by student/ teacher/ size to streamline the sorting. But WE NEED YOU- and your friends to help bag the shirts!!! The more hands, the quicker it will go. Please join us- for all or part of the event. The shirts will be sent home through your students backpacks the week of October 16th. Share this event and spread the word, come at the beginning of the event and we can finish early and go home!

This year we're (re)Introducing PTA Reflections at Pinchbeck! 

Ok? What is that?
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student cultural arts program, recognizing children for their creativity. Students from Preschool through Grade 12 may participate and explore the arts based on a yearly theme. Students may show their personal interpretation of the theme in their choice of six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, photography, music composition, and visual arts. For us, we'll have two age groups: K-2 and 3-5.

Is there a theme?
Yes, and this year the theme is "I'm hopeful because..."
So start brainstorming ideas. 

Submissions can be made starting November 1st with a deadline of Friday, December 1st.
