On the weekend of May 5th, Keaton Duncan competed for the Texas State Championship for Tetris at the Arlington E-Sports Stadium as well as their Tetris Open Tournament. This tournament was held by the UIL sponsor, Vanta. He obtained first place in both competitions and was awarded both a State Championship trophy and Tetris merchandise. He will continue his education at Kilgore College and also compete in ESports there.
Thank you to Buckner Westminster Place for providing snack bags for students at Pine Tree Middle School every month, this year. Such a positive impact by example of service and kindness.

"Everyday at Pine Tree ISD, we're teaching kids how to think, not what to think. We’re teaching kids how to rise to expectations not make excuses on why they can't. We’re teaching kids how to make good choices and good decisions so they don't have to endure a lifetime of pain for making poor decisions. We’re teaching kids you've got to put in whatever amount of work it takes to get the job done because you can't sit around and wait for someone else to do it. Basically, we are teaching kids how to be successful adults.” Steve Clugston, Pine Tree ISD Superintendent https://youtu.be/iNS3mLjsaJ8?si=pjwHkN1XvQJa-5Qc
