PTO Piney Post - Week 23 - February 9th, 2026
Mon, Feb 9 3:20pm

Today is the Kick-off to Pine Grove School's biggest fundraiser of the year, Raise Craze, and we are already off to a great start!  

Join us by registering your student for Raise Craze using the link below:

https://my.raisecraze.com/app2/join/ANNQJ2TW

 Our Raise Craze Committee visited with students at their lunches today to explain the program.  Students are encouraged to perform acts of kindness at school to make PGS Out-of-this-World in Kindness!  Every time a student is "caught being kind" by a staff member, they can earn a ticket to enter a weekly drawing for teacher & staff experiences of their choosing!  

Register now, and the first 100 students to register earn a coupon for a free kid's combo meal at Raising Canes!  

 Don't forget to log your child's acts of kindness online to help their classroom earn the traveling trophy for the day and other exciting incentives!

Questions???  Please reach out to info@pgspto.com
