From the President - A Word from Betsy

Dear Pioneer Families,
Well, we are all the way to post-spring break this year and I can hardly believe it. Our fund raising efforts for 2011-2012 are over and it is time to celebrate our Pioneer community together for the remainder of the year. Fun events like teacher appreciation week, a campus cleanup Saturday, and the Fun Run will bring us together a few more times to top off a GREAT year. I really look forward to it.

 

A HUGE thank you goes out to each and every donor who contributed to a Pioneer fundraiser this year. As a result of your generosity inspiring assemblies have been offered on campus, art classes are held, library and reading lab books have been supplemented, new PE/Recess equipment has been provided, computers will be purchased, and much, much more. The proceeds from the Green/Gold auction held March 31st will fund new technology in every classroom and a new video catalog of DVDs in our library. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the generous donations to and purchases from each and every fundraising effort on campus this year. We have done well!

 

There are two more PTA General Membership meetings before the end of the year. I hope you will be able to attend. Wednesday, April 25th will be the election of the 2012-2013 Executive Board members. If you are interested in serving, please contact Amanda Walsh (amandawalsh@comcast.net). There are positions available and the new leadership is just now forming. Please contact Amanda if you would like to help lead and form the PTA calendar/activities for next year under President-elect Annemarie Zurborg's leadership. Thank you Annemarie for your service!

 

The last PTA meeting will be May 16th. Year-end financials will be reported and a panel of Pioneer Alumni sutdents and parents will be interviewed about transitioning from Elementary to Jr. High school. It is a great opportunity for our 5th and 6th grade families to get an inside look at the next phase of their academic experience/career which is just around the corner. I hope you'll come and welcome back some of our students/parents as well as support the families who woll be leaving us soon.

Finally, a BIG SHOUT out to the amazing Auction Committee this year that hosted a brilliant event last month. It was such a great, spirit-filled event with school colors and prairie dogs and all things Pioneer. It was such a fun event and took so much work to make happen. Our entire parent/teacher community says 'THANK YOU for a fun night for a great cause. Our hats are off to YOU!!'

 

Until next time,
Betsy

Nugget Scrip Reactivation Month

Thank you so much to those that are currently participating in the Nugget Scrip Program! We appreciate your involvement and we know that Nugget takes pride in supporting local communities. We would like to remind you that Nugget Markets/Food 4 Less Scrip cards are valid through August 31, 2011. Please be advised that ALL Scrip card users must reactivate their Scrip card(s) in order to continue earning a donation to Pioneer PTA.

Throughout the month of August, Scrip participants must log in to their accounts and follow the online instructions to reactivate their card(s). Given that a Scrip card is reactivated by August 31, 2011, all donations earned for the month of August will be honored. Effective September 1, 2011, if a Scrip card has not been reactivated, it will become inactive and no longer accrue donation monies until the necessary steps for reactivation have been taken.
