Pine Tree Primary School

Happy 4th of July from Pine Tree Primary! Miss B here with a quick reminder to help you celebrate safely and smartly this Independence Day! Before you light up the sky, remember these firework safety tips: ✨ Only use fireworks with an adult present. ✨ Keep a safe distance between you and others. ✨ Wear ear protection if you can — fireworks can be loud! ✨ And most importantly — fireworks are for outdoors only! https://youtube.com/shorts/CFTJee2TTmI?feature=share Let’s make it a day full of fun, freedom, and safety. Have a blast—the safe way! 💙❤️🤍

All Pine Tree ISD campuses and district offices will be closed July 3rd & 4th. Wishing our PT family a safe and happy 4th of July! ❤️🤍💙
