Did you know that all Pine Creek families have access to the PTO directory?! What is the directory you ask? It is a great tool to help connect you with other families such as for birthday party invitations, play dates or even to set up a much-needed adult coffee date after the long summer break!

Never used our directory, here is a helpful video on how to get started today! https://animoto.com/play/af1N9Jky1nzPnaOZX7n0IA

Since the PTO does not charge dues to be a member, we rely on donations throughout the year to fund perks like our website and directory! If you would like to contribute, use our Givebutter link here to donate https://givebutter.com/JyCEtZ
