Apply for Free School Meals- Applications are always OPEN!

Circumstances change throughout the school year. To assist you, applications are accepted for the Free or Reduced-Price Meal program at any time during the 2023- 2024 school year. Reduced Priced meal fees are being waived this year, so if you qualify for a Reduced Priced meal, your meals will be free! Visit this webpage for additional information Pinchbeck Elementary PTA - Henrico County, VA - Free and Reduced-Price Meals (membershiptoolkit.com)

Did you know Pinchbeck had 38.11% students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals in 2022-23? If a school exceeds a threshold of 40% students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, under the "Community Eligibility Provision", the entire school will be designated as a free meal school the following year. This is why some neighboring elementary and middle schools near Pinchbeck receive free lunches for all students.

Leader in Me: Habit 4 Think Win-Win!

Practicing Habit 4: think win-win, is a game-changer for strengthening friendships and families. It's the key to working well together. Take time this month to complete the Bingo Card that came home this week from school to help your family put this habit into practice. Want more information about this special habit, or a fun additional activity to help put into practice Habit 4? Click these links!

Tickets to see Annie!

The Richmond Performing Arts Alliance offers the opportunity to apply for 2 free tickets to many of the Broadway shows that come to Richmond. If you or someone you know would like to take your child to see the Broadway show Annie on 1/17/23 @7:30pm in Richmond, follow this link to apply. Submission does not guarantee receipt of tickets, the goal of this program is to break down the financial barrier which separates students and families from access to the arts.

Talent Show Auditions are coming January 17th and the show is February 28th! Make sure you've signed up and get practicing!

See the flyer for links to the Registration page and for the volunteer Sign up Genius! 


**As a reminder, students participating in the talent show are required to have at least one parent volunteer. Your support is needed and appreciated! 


Also, this year we’re hoping to find a few parents, teachers, and/or staff that has musical talent to play a few songs to open the show! Reach out to talentshow@pinchbeckpta.com if interested!
