Pine Ridge hosted the Principal and Select School Staff Member for a day raffle this November where students had the chance to shadow the staff member of their choice for a day. The winners had a fun-filled day of important duties like visiting classrooms, helping enrichment teachers with their classes, participating in Minute-to-Win-it games, scavenger hunts, pizza and lots more! We even heard some voices on the Walkie Talkies! Thanks to all who participated in the raffle and a big thank you to the winners who helped make the day such a success! Keep an eye out for the next awesome activity here on the Ridge!

Dear PRE Families,
Our fall art fundraiser has begun and we would love your support! This past nine weeks we have been working so hard here in the art room creating masterpieces for this fundraiser. Over 60 products are available for you to purchase with your student’s masterpiece on them. Holidays are fast approaching and these will make great gifts! All proceeds will go directly into the art room for your student’s art supplies. Next week your student will bring home their Art to Remember flyer, so be on the lookout for it! If you have any questions about our fundraiser please contact Mrs. Hadley at Hadleyh@lake.k12.fl.us

Students may wear any type of school appropriate hat on Thursday November 14, for $1.
This fundraiser will benefit the Elementary Honor Society Club (NEHS).
