What is a Palooza?
School Council, Student Council, and the staff at Pinecrest have organized a fun-filled evening for everyone.The Palooza is similar to a Fun Fair. This is our fifth Palooza.Coupons are sold at .50ยข each.Games require anywhere from one of four coupons to play. Winners will be able to choose a prize from the Prize Room.Money raised from this event will go towards needed items/field trips that will enhance our school community.
What happens at the Palooza?
Enjoy a barbequed hamburger or hot dog served by our Principal Mr. Wallinford, and Mr. Gil-Alfau, the principal from Confederation High School.Visit with other parents and children while you check out the amazing items at the Penny Table and Silent Auction Table.Cotton Candy, Popcorn and Candy Kabobs are available for your indulgence.This is the perfect time to walk through the school and look at the various classrooms while watching the students play a variety of games.We also have our Parent Resource Centre displayed in the gymnasium.
NEW:Every student/child will receive a Palooza Passport.After playing five games and collecting a secret special “mark” on their passport indicating they have played each game, the student/child can bring their passport to the Prize Room and choose a prize!!!Everyone can win just by playing five games!!!!!
