Outstanding fundraising efforts earn Pinewood school special recognition
May 1, 2009
Pinewood school was recently named by Price Chopper’s Tools for Schools program a Top 100 school for the total value earned in Price Chopper’s five-state region.
For this honor, Pinewood received a Califone Wireless Presentation Pro PA System, which is already in use in the school’s computer lab and may be signed out to classrooms for in-class presentations. Pinewood parents, relatives and friends contributed more than 120,000 points to reach this achievement. This year, the points earned went to purchase new PE equipment. Registration information for next year’s program will be sent home in early September. Click here for more information about Price Chopper's Tools for Schools program.
