Wednesday our Poultry Judging Team (Cheyenne Orr, Cadence Brewer , Ledger Fourez, Wesley English, Jase Blacketer, and Ethan Tovey) placed 2nd out of 10 teams at the Section 18 FFA Poultry Judging Contest!
A huge congratulations to:
⭐ Wesley English – 4th Overall
⭐ Cheyenne Orr – 7th Overall
(out of 55 competitors!)
These students have put in so much work learning how to evaluate laying hens, broilers, exterior and interior egg quality, and carcass grading. They’ve spent countless hours preparing for this contest, and their dedication truly paid off.
I am so proud of each team member. Not only did they compete well, but they represented our chapter well and even made a few new friends along the way. Congratulations to all of the participants! 💙💛

Pine Crest PTO is an amazing group of parents in our community that work together to support the PreK-5th grade classrooms in our district in a variety of ways!
Recently, Pine Crest PTO was able to provide our teachers and staff with items that would help get them through the rest of the school year! Miss Key's class would like to say thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for Pine Crest!
If you are interested in getting involved with our district, Pine Crest PTO is a great place to start. Their next meeting is Tuesday, February 17, at 6:00 p.m. in the Pine Crest cafeteria. We hope to see you there!
Hello Pine Crest Families!
Today, February 12th we will return to our regular dismissal procedures. Students will be picked up at both the woodchips and the front of the building. If you have any questions about your child's dismissal please reach out to the office.
I would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding while we had to change our dismissal process for an extended period of time due to the snow and cold temperatures. I would also like to send a huge shout out to our hard working staff for their flexibility during this time, and working through the extended process.
Thank you all so much!

Please use this link to see more fair details.. We highly recommend setting up an eWallet for your student to avoid cash being lost at school.. The eWallet is great for those family members who are wanting to donate books to a teacher's classroom, you can just add funds to that teacher's eWallet and they are able to use them to pick out books! Also, if there is anyone in the community wanting to contribute, the 'share the fair' feature is a great way to donate funds to support students at our school who need help getting new books. Your contribution helps even more kids take home a book from the Fair!
