The Pine Tree Education Foundation established the annual Beacon Awards and Regen Stiles Teaching Excellence Award for the purpose of recognizing district employees who have made a life changing impression on a student during their time in Pine Tree schools. Current Pine Tree students make nominations in the form of an essay sharing how a teacher or school employee has influenced their life and why they appreciate and admire them. This is an opportunity for students to express themselves in writing, and to say “thank you” to a special person for making a difference in their lives.
Pine Tree competed in the Texas Association of Pupil Transportation Bus Safety Speech state contest. Our Pirates performed well and earned scholarships for their efforts. Carter Terry finished 1st place in the senior division and received a $600 scholarship. Aiden McQueary finished 3rd place in the sophomore division and received a $200 scholarship.
Congratulations, Pirates! #pirateproud
