Pine Time Capsule

Travel back in time with us as Pine Elementary School opens its 50-year-old time capsule on May 6, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special event, especially the former students and staff from the Class of 1976. The evening featured a special performance by our Panther Choir before the original time capsule was opened, revealing memorabilia and memories buried decades ago.

Special thanks to Sodexo, Gwen Hudson, David Alvarado, and Andrea Renner-Miller for helping make this unforgettable experience possible.

View the memorabilia gallery, student and staff letters for 2026, and more on this webpage.
