    100 Mile Club

    		 The Pine Hollow 100 Mile Club is all about engaging and empowering kids and families to achieve a healthy lifestyle through physical activity nationwide, and  preventing childhood inactivity and obesity, one child, one school, and one community at a time. The 100 Mile Club presents students with a straightforward challenge: run, jog, or walk 100 Miles over the course of the school year. The 100 Mile Club meets on the field by the gym on Mondays after school until 4:00pm, and on Friday mornings from 7:30-8:00am. Our members will also have the option to run with the Girls Running Club on Thursday mornings from 7:30-8:00am. For more information contact, the 100 Mile Club advisor, Gina Dickison.  

    Anime Club

    		 Every Thursday, during both lunches, students are invited to come to room A4 to eat and watch an animated film from Japan. The Pine Hollow Middle School Anime Club, founded in 2010, views primarily the films of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, but a few others will show up throughout the year.  As a club, our members discuss storytelling, art styles, and cultural differences, as well as how they are used to unfold the plots.  Studio Ghibli is famous for complex stories full of subtle details and underlaying environmentalist theme so we discuss these and watch for them as the films progress.  It usually takes four weeks to screen an entire film. For more information, please contact the Anime Club teacher advisor, Peter Grose.

    AV Club

    		 The Pine Hollow AV Club will be a multi-media club open to all students interested in audio and video production. The club meets weekly in Mr. Navarro's classroom to create and edit videos, film, and other media.

    		 The Pine Hollow Middle School Chess Club is a club where students get to play chess with and against their peers, and learn about the game.

For more information please contact Mrs. Mann. 

    Girls Running Club

    		 The Pine Hollow Middle School Girls Running Club is for girls who love to run, or girls who want to start running. This club makes running fun and motivates students to push through their goals and set new ones.

    TUPE Program

    The purpose of the TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education) Program is to reduce youth tobacco use by helping students make healthful tobacco-related decisions through tobacco-specific educational instruction and activities that build knowledge as well as social skills and youth development assets. The Contra Costa County Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective, comprehensive tobacco education programs. At Pine Hollow Middle School we have ten 7th and 8th grade students who participate in the program as TUPE Student Educators. These students organize and run activities, events, and lessons to support schoolwide education and awareness around tobacco related issues. The TUPE program is coordinated by Lori Nordone, School Counselor.

    Ukulele Club

    The purest form of aloha spirit is the Ukulele. The Pine Hollow Middle School Ukulele Club is run by Lori Nardone, School Counselor, and had about 10-30 members attend each meeting during the 2017-2018 school year. The club meets each week (day to be determined this year) during lunch to learn new songs, practice together, and have fun. The club has 14 ukuleles that are shared throughout the year, and the club hopes to perform at the end of they ear in the school talent show. Students do not need experience to join the club and the ukulele is a simple instrument that can be learned quickly and simply.

    WEB Program

    The WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) Program is an 8th grade middle school orientation and transition program that welcomes 6th graders and makes them feel comfortable throughout their first year of their middle school experience. Through this nationally recognized middle school transition program, members of the 8th grade class are trained to act as positive role models, mentors, and teachers who guide the 6th graders to discover what it takes to be successful in middle school. At Pine Hollow, we have over 40 WEB leaders who meet weekly to develop strategies and activities to support our 6th graders. The WEB Program is run by our counselors, Ed Perryman and Lori Nardone.
