Thank You for Supporting Pinchbeck's Fall Festival!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Pinchbeck’s most beloved event of the year - FALL FESTIVAL! The weather was 10/10, games and inflatables were 💯, the bake sale was chef’s 💋, and the night was overall perfection. We hope you and your friends had the best time☀️

This event was made possible by the Pinchbeck PTA and organized by our incredible Fall Festival chairs, Melissa Singh and Danielle Valdeleon, and a huge team of volunteers. If you donated an item to the festival, volunteered, or just came and supported it by buying tickets or wristbands, THANK YOU!!!

Stuff'd Pals Fundraiser UPDATE!!

Rays, we have ALMOST hit the $25,000 mark!  Our fundraising site will stay open through Friday to capture any last-minute donations and help us leap over our BIG GOAL!  Remember that all students who enter 10 or more email addresses will receive 6 awesome prizes, and students who enter 20 or more email addresses will be entered into a drawing for Apple AirPods!  All students who raise $50 or more will go to a Stuff'd Pals Party, and the winning grade level will earn a Nightingale Ice Cream!  No matter what, EVERYONE WINS and we HELP OUR SCHOOL!  Thank you for your support!
