#GivingTuesday
Giving is a very personal thing. People have strong feelings about how they give, whether it is giving of their time, their talents, or through monetary gifts. There are so many ways to contribute to improve the lives of others. As you think about how you will give this holiday season, I would ask that you consider helping us improve the health of our community by giving to the multi-purpose fitness track. You can make a difference on #GivingTuesday by considering Pin Oak for your charitable contribution. Gifts of all sizes, $5 to $1,000 are welcomed and appreciated! No contribution is too small. Together we can make this a reality and improve the green space our children and community needs.



Chargers...you can make a difference too! Every kid deserves a clean, well-fitting athletic shoe. Please consider donating a new or gently used pair of athletic shoes.  Boxes for your donations will be set up on Tuesday at the main entrance and the back entrance near the buses.  

Holiday Shopping Days!

Please consider visiting our local business sponsors this week.  A portion of your sale will go back to Pin Oak!

Finals Exams

Final exams are scheduled for our high school credit courses for the week of December 12-16.  Also that week, some classes will administer end of semester tests.  Please watch the cluster blogs for more information.  

We will be using a modified schedule that week.  You will receive that next week, here, in Charger Buzz.
