2nd Annual Winter Concert Bake Sale

It’s almost time for our 2nd Annual Holiday Bake Sale! We are having a festive bake sale on Tuesday December 10th during our two holiday concerts. This is a cash only event and all funds raised support our school.
If you want to contribute baked treats, please wrap and label your baked goods and drop off to the office on Monday December 9th. Please list any allergens (ie. contains nuts).
Last year, it was amazing to see such an assortment of goodies donated by Pebble Hill families and we can’t wait to see what bakers create this year.

Grade 7 Year End Event Fundraiser – Please save your holiday cans and bottles

Pebble Hill PAC Holiday Wish Tree 

We have asked each teacher and staff member to share some wishes for their classroom, library, office, etc. as another way to help support the students.

We have displayed these wishes on the Wish Tree. The tree is currently located by the office!

If you would like to participate, please take a tag and help us fulfill these wishlist items. Please bring the item back to the school with the tag attached (wrapping optional) and place it under the tree. This initiative will help support students by providing items needed directly to the classrooms.

We thank you in advance for your support!
