    Welcome to November everybody. The days are getting shorter and we haven't seen the sun in weeks, but the Pioneer team remains ready to serve.

     

    We have a smattering of breaks in November, Veteran's day, Fall Break, Parent/Teacher conferences and, of course, our annual feast for families is back on the menu!

     

    We look forward to all the opportunities to get to know your families deeper as we race towards the holiday season.

     

    Thank you so much for your continued support as we continue to serve our students and their families.

    The Salmon Homecoming

    November is officially Native American Heritage month!

     

    The equity team at Pioneer, with the help of the Salmon Homecoming Alliance, have put together a lesson plan for teachers, accessible to all students, to educate and celebrate the local Salmon Homecoming.

     

    If you are interested about learning about the Salmon homecoming, along with our students, please feel free to visit their website here. 

    Native American Traditions and Folklore

    One of our amazing teachers, Alex Buckwald, has recruited a Native American speaker to put on a presentation for all grade levels. Their presentation will include Native American Traditions, how folklore is passed through generation to generation in the Native American community, and will be talking about ceremonial and traditional garb.

     

    We are looking forward to their presentation.
