Foundation Contributions Make A Difference!
 This past April 2007, the Foundation Grant Committee along with the district's Pirate mascot surprised students and teachers on five Pine Tree campuses with the news that their grant applications had been funded by the Foundation. How was this possible? The answer is YOU!
Our community has made the difference through charitable gifts and contributions to the Foundation's annual Five for the Foundation campaign and by remembering special lives with donations as honorariums and memorials.
If you would like to help keep the tradition of excellence alive at Pine Tree ISD, click this link to the Five for the Foundation donation form and mail your charitable contribution to PTEF, P. O. Box 5878, Longview, Texas 75608. All donations are appreciated by the students and staff of Pine Tree ISD.
