ACTIVE4me - Bike, Walk, Run, or Scoot to School!

DID YOU KNOW...that if you sign up your child for the Active4Me bike program, you will receive a call, text, or email when your student arrives at school and their Active4Me barcode is scanned? Plus, students can track their miles, calories spent, money saved, and carbon reduction! Scanning will start when all volunteers are secured. Email Marlia Braun at active4me.pioneer@gmail.com, to volunteer or check off the box on your volunteer form. Volunteer commitment is 8:00am-8:30am one morning a week. Please join our 2023-2024 Scanning Posse!

​

To register your child, please pick up and complete an “Active4Me Parental Consent Form” at the Front Office or under Forms on the PTA website. Return the completed form to the Front Office or to any of the scanners at school.

Walker Creek Ranch Camp
The PTA donates a portion of the fees to each 6th grade student who is attending the Walker Creek Ranch Camp.

 

Pioneer students have been attending Walker Creek Camp for 14 years.  We are very pleased with the excellent program they provide for our students.  High school students and parents go on the trip as cabin leaders.  This trip provides an opportunity for students to spend time away from home in a safe, educational environment.

 

The Marin County Outdoor School at Walker Creek Ranch is dedicated to helping elementary school teachers satisfy their educational goals through quality instruction within a special learning environment that inspires and motivates students to achieve an appreciation of the natural world. Using principles of thematic instruction, the Outdoor School enhances a student's critical thinking, processing, and socialization skills.
