Derby Car Workshop

If your student would like help building their derby car, you are welcome to bring your child to our derby car workshop next Wednesday, October 15, from 5:30 - 7:00 PM in the PUCE gym. There will be parents available to help with assembly and design.

Bring your derby car kit and any supplies you would like to use or share (e.g. weights, graphite, sandpaper, art supplies, tools). If you would like to volunteer at the workshop to help students build their cars, please let us know.

Derby Sponsorships - Deadline Extended!

It's not too late to find sponsors for this year's Pinewood Derby! The deadline has been extended to tomorrow, Friday, October 10! Sponsors can mail a check or submit a donation online here: https://www.pucelementary.org/pinewood-derby

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.

Each classroom is also creating a themed basket to sell at our silent auction. Please contact your child's teacher to find out how you can contribute. Basket themes are:
K-2: Baking
3-4: Gardening
5-6: Picnic
7-8: Legos

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

Derby Registration and Raffle

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!

Registration for the Pinewood Derby is open now! We have sent home registration forms with students, or you can register online here: https://www.pucelementary.org/pinewood-derby. More forms are available in the office. There is a $40 registration fee that includes a derby car kit and derby t-shirt. Derby cars must be built using kits sold by PUCE. 

Our design theme this year is: Careers! Decorate your car as anything career-related. It could be a police car, an instrument for a musician, tools of a trade, etc. 

Raffle tickets were sent home earlier this week. Raffle tickets cost $5 each or $20 for 5 tickets. All money and tickets, sold or unsold, must be returned to the office by Friday, October 17. For each packet of 15 tickets that a student sells, they will receive one free raffle ticket to enter into the drawing. If a student would like to sell more than one packet, they may return their sold packet and receive a new one.
