You can begin bringing in your items for the Country Store at anytime.

We are still in need of help for our float.  We are using the theme "bury the Falcons" and are going to do something similar to the picture below.  If you have any of the items pictured that you can donate (or make for some of you creative people, please let me know).  It has to be finished by next Thursday and we do not have much time left.  Once we see what is brought in, we will figure out what it is going to cost to buy the remaining items and divide it out.  Please let me know tomorrow if possible so that we can start collecting the money.

Since the spring softball clinic was such a success, Coach Park and the PIKE softball team are hosting a Fall Softball Clinic on Saturday, November 8 from 9-12. Please tell your family and friends that have children (K-6) interested in softball to contact Coach Park or I can send you a flyer.  This is a great opportunity for the PIKE Softball programs to continue to develop our K-6th grade athletes and give them the tools they need for success. Please note that pre-registration ends Friday, October 31st.

Thanks and  Go PIKE!
