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!

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
