It's a FULL HOUSE in Pioneer Stadium for Homecoming vs the Flyers!
It was all about volleyball at today's pep fest to wrap up Homecoming Week! Grade levels competed against each other, and then the teachers took to the court!
Mrs. Stamm and Mrs. Marshik's preschoolers learned all about Johnny Appleseed this week, enjoying homemade applesauce, counting, with apples, making apple art, and more!
Color Wars: A Sea of School Spirit!
The MAC and Healy halls are a kaleidoscope of color today as our annual Color Wars pep fest took the stage! Students showed off their class pride in a vibrant display, with each grade level sporting its designated color.
7th Grade brought the heat in classic white.
8th Grade was a beacon of energy in bright orange.
Freshmen made a sunny statement in yellow.
Sophomores represented with some serious green gusto.
Juniors were true-blue in, well, blue!
And of course, our Seniors were the pinnacle of Pioneer pride in bold red.
This year's event introduced a new twist: sumo wrestling! The crowd went wild as sophomore Jayden Zajac grappled his way to victory against senior Bradly Tanner. And in a surprise twist, our very own Mr. Kummet stepped into the ring and took down junior Bo Woitalla!
Be sure to come out for the rest of Homecoming Week's events and cheer on your favorite Pioneers--tonight tennis takes on Foley away as does Cross Country, and Pioneers host the Little Falls flyers for our homecoming football game at 7pm Friday night!

Students learning to use a laser to level a base for a concrete pour at the elementary school.
Pioneer 6th graders traveled to Camp Ripley this week for the annual Water Festival, learning about usage, resources, and conservation practices.
Mr. Kurt Litke, former Pioneer Teacher, invited the 5th grade students to learn about forest management this week. Mr. Litke talked to the students about logging practices that took place in this area when it was first settled. After learning how loggers used to accomplish the job, students got to see current equipment of the trade in action thanks to Kevin and Craig Holtz. It was a memorable experience and offered real life experience to many topics in social studies, science, and Metier classes. What a cool experience! Watch the video of these massive machines in action: https://docs.google.com/videos/d/1AOa-I6Ur98aALbZMZSHPaErpf_x2LfZFut9PacDt9FM/edit?usp=sharing

Students are hard at work in the concrete class preparing for a new sidewalk to be poured. This morning they are using the laser and packer to prepare a suitable base.
It was a hot but beautiful day for the Rey Zimney Invitational Cross Country meet yesterday afternoon. The Pierz Park and golf course brought 100s of runners and spectators from all over Minnesota. And Pioneer Pete helped cheer our Pierz Boys to a 6th place finish and the Girls to a 3rd place finish over all. Way to go teams!

Students in Ms. Becker's first grade class have been learning all about bus safety this week, and they had some great tips to share:
🚌 Always wait for the bus to come to a complete stop
🚌 No running or jumping
🚌 Listen to your driver
🚌 Stay seated while the bus is moving
🚌 Be a role model for others
We’re so grateful for our amazing bus drivers — thank you for keeping us safe every day! 💛
