Some things will be a bit different than in the past, so be sure to read through it carefully. We have LIMITED capacity for cast and crew this season, so we may not be able to take all who apply, but we will do a waiting list and keep you informed if a space opens. Fully completed applications can be sent via email to Mrs. Young at: tac.plms@gmail.com.
Applications will be approved by date and grade, until all spots are full. So get them in ASAP!

Geography Bee
The National Geographic Bee is an annual competition organized by the National Geographic Society, designed to inspire and reward students' curiosity about the world. Each year, thousands of schools across the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee, competing for college scholarships and the glory of being the National Geographic Bee Champion.
Pine Lake students have the opportunity to make the school team by participating in the School Geography Bee. Once the school team is identified, they will move on to compete in the State Geography Bee. The group is open to all interested students.
COMPASS
COMPASS Leaders are 8th graders who are good role models for younger students and who have been successful at Pine Lake.
COMPASS Leaders’ communication skills, leadership potential, responsibility, and personality have helped them succeed at PLMS and the lessons they have learned should be shared to help others succeed. Being a COMPASS leader means you can have a tremendous influence on our new students and you will learn many valuable leadership skills in the process. Plus, COMPASS IS FUN!
