[edit] Juggling
One particular activity that is special to Pine Grove is juggling. All grades spend much of their time learning to juggle in physical education class as it "provides hand-eye coordination and teaches perservance". In 2006 Pine Grove organized a mass juggling attempt to beat the current world record of "Most Objects Aloft at One Time". The attempt was held on Tuesday May 11th at Oakville Place mall and was attended by over 1000 jugglers from Pine Grove Public School, Eastview Public School and Blakelock High School. Jugglers even came from as far away as Georgia and South Carolina to participate in the event. Unfortunately, not enough jugglers attended to beat the record. Pine Grove has started a different activity also other than Juggling they do Cup stacking.
