Thank You for Joining Us for Focus on Education Week!
Thank you to all the families and staff who joined us for our district’s Focus on Education event. We loved the opportunity to showcase the incredible teaching and learning happening every day at Pioneer. From Ozobots and Makey Makey to literacy-aligned STEAM challenges and creative clay butterflies, our students and staff truly shined as they shared their curiosity, innovation, and hard work.

We are grateful to our teachers for preparing such thoughtful demonstrations and to our families for taking the time to celebrate with us. Your support and partnership make all the difference. Thank you for helping us highlight what makes Pioneer such a special learning community!

Warmly,
Kristi Brooks, Principal
Brett Bradshaw, Deputy Principal

Now through Tuesday, November 25th, Pioneer will be collecting canned foods and new toys to support the FISH Food Bank and bring joy to families this holiday season!

🥫 Bring the Cans — Win the Cocoa! ☕
Each classroom is collecting canned and non-perishable food items for the FISH Food Bank. The class with the most donations will earn a cozy Hot Cocoa Party!

Hot Cocoa Party for the winning class, generously donated by the Himenes Family, owners of Uptown Cutters Point!

Let’s work together to fill the shelves and spread kindness this season!

STEAM Night is a Pioneer Favorite! 

It’s a night where our entire Pioneer community comes together — families, students, and local businesses — to learn, explore, and celebrate the wonders of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math!

If you own a local business and would like to participate in STEAM Night, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to president.pioneervpo@gmail.com.

Keep an eye out for more details coming soon about how your student can join in the fun through STEAM Night’s Cardboard Challenge, music and art exhibits, and the Science Fair!
