Pinewood Derby

This year's Pinewood Derby is coming up on Saturday, October 18, from 6-9 PM. We will start with vespers and then enjoy food and races!

The Pinewood Derby, especially sponsorships, is the biggest fundraiser each year for our school. We need your help to connect us with sponsors for this year's derby!

If you are willing to reach out to businesses, please let us know so we don’t duplicate requests. Click here for a letter that can be mailed, emailed, or dropped off at businesses. We will have printed copies available in the office for pick-up as well. Sponsors who donate at least $250 will have their business advertised on the derby t-shirts. The sponsorship deadline is October 8, 2025.

We are also looking for In-Kind Donations these are items like tickets, passes, products, etc., that we can use for our auction. Sometimes businesses prefer to give an item rather than make a monetary donation.

Thank you in advance for helping us make the Pinewood Derby a success!

Swimming

Students will be swimming at the PUC pool for PE class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from August 26 to September 16. Please send swimsuits, towels, and flip-flops again next Tuesday and Thursday. If you would like your child to wear sunscreen, please send it with them as well.

Grandparents' Day Celebration

We are looking forward to this year's PUCE Grandparents' Day Celebration on Friday, September 26 at 10:30 AM in the PUCE gym. All students can invite their grandparents or someone who is like a grandparent to them. Invitations for grandparents will be sent home with students to distribute. See below for more info.
