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!

MAP Testing

Our fall MAP testing will continue next week. Please be sure your child is getting enough sleep and eats a healthy breakfast each morning so they can do their best!

Prep Mission Trip Fundraiser

PUC Prep is taking students to South Texas in March 2026 on a service learning mission trip to serve the local community. They will learn more about the complex issue of immigration and how to approach it from a biblical perspective.
