Panther Families, Your child will be taking home a packet with information regarding a new fundraiser. We are trying this out this year. Remember, that participation is optional. The only thing you and your child need to do is spread the word via email to as many friends and family as possible. Once you do that, a code will be given to you to place in the envelope and return to the school. Your child will receive an adorable animal hugger just for returning the envelope with the code. Other prizes can be won! More information is coming home today with your child. Thank you. Familias de PInewood,, Su hijo se llevará a casa un paquete con información sobre una nueva recaudación de fondos. Estamos probando esto este año. Recuerda que la participación es opcional. Lo único que deben hacer usted y su hijo es correr la voz por correo electrónico a tantos amigos y familiares como sea posible. Una vez que lo haga, se le dará un código para que lo coloque en el sobre y lo devuelva a la escuela. Su hijo recibirá un adorable abrazador de animales solo por devolver el sobre con el código. ¡Se pueden ganar otros premios! Más información llegará a casa hoy con su hijo. Gracias.
