Donate non-perishable food items and personal hygiene, clothing, and school items on Back to School Night, Tuesday, August 25 in the PAC, and be entered into a drawing for Pierz Pioneer swag and a Family Activity Pass!

Hello Pierz School District parents,
Want to skip back-to-school shopping this summer while saving up to 20% compared to most major retailers? You can order a school supply kit for a limited time with all the supplies your student will need for their upcoming school year.
Go here before July 15 and select your child’s upcoming grade: https://shop.myimpacks.com/school/pierz-school-district-pierz-mn
Each kit includes everything required, with the exception of a few things, like gym shoes. Prices are comparable to Target, and cheaper than Amazon
Check out using a credit/debit card
Consider adding a donation at checkout. Impacks will match the first $5, and all funds will go to supporting our school
The supplies will be shipped directly to your home.
Be sure to purchase your supply kit before the deadline of August 15 for the ship-to-home option. Thank you!

Lake life, wildlife, and zip lines! 🦅🎣 The Pierz Unified Team had the most incredible day at Camp Confidence on Sylvan Lake
Special education students from Pioneer and our caring Unified students from Healy High School teamed up for a day full of outdoor adventures. We started out fishing, transitioned to the animal and nature centers, fueled up with lunch, and ended the day flying high on the zip lines (complete with a big one for the older kids and a smaller one for the younger kids!).
An awesome day of inclusion, friendship, and pure fun! 🥰✨

A huge THANK YOU to the Pioneer PTO for sponsoring Ninja Anywhere at our school today!
From Preschool through 6th grade, students had the opportunity to spend time outside challenging themselves, competing, and learning the importance of putting in effort and never giving up. The Ninja Anywhere team shared an important message with our students: don’t say “I can’t” — say “I’ll try again.”
We also want to thank our Minnesota Honor Society students who volunteered their time to supervise and encourage our younger students throughout the day. Your leadership and support made a big difference!
It was an amazing day filled with teamwork, perseverance, and fun!
