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!

We're excited to share that thanks to our wonderful Pioneer PTO, we now have a book vending machine! This fun machine allows our Pioneer Pride winners to pick out their very own book, giving their brains a tasty treat!

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! 💛
