🇺🇸 Remembering September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today, our fifth graders had the honor of attending a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony as we paused to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Three of our students—Raleigh Chappell, Gary Flesher, and Walker Saunders—participated in the ceremony by reading the names of victims, helping ensure that the individuals behind the numbers are never forgotten. ❤️🤍💙

We are incredibly proud of the respect, maturity, and thoughtfulness our fifth graders showed during this meaningful event. Thank you to our students and staff for representing Pioneer Elementary with such care and dignity.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Family Science & Engineering Night last week was a blast! On Jan. 23, our families explored, built, tested, and discovered together thanks to Oregon State University Engineering students and faculty who joined us. They brought some fun hands-on science and engineering activities that made learning come alive for our students. We enjoyed seeing families and students learning side-by-side and making memories together.

The Pioneer staff enjoyed a wonderful holiday gathering out in our community last week -- an opportunity to strengthen the connections that make our school family special. Community Connections is one of our district's five Focus Areas, and taking time to come together outside the school walls reminded us how important those relationships truly are.

From all of us at Pioneer, we wish you and your loved ones a warm, joyful holiday season! We will see students back in school on Monday, January 5, 2026!

Congratulations to Mrs. Mynar for earning the Apple Award! 🍎

Today we are proud to recognize Kimberly Mynar, a fifth-grade teacher at Pioneer School, as an Educators Apple Award recipient! 🍎

Mrs. Mynar received multiple nominations for the award and is described as devoted, encouraging, and always going above and beyond for her students. As a teacher and AVID mentor, she helps students build leadership skills, set goals, gain confidence, and shine -- whether that's through reading morning announcements, presenting at assemblies, or supporting peers. One nomination reads, "Kimberly goes above and beyond every day to ensure her students are thriving and well-prepared for success as they head to middle school." Thank you, Mrs. Mynar, for the incredible impact you make in your school community every day.

All Apple Award winners receive a framed certificate, a dinner gift card to 1847 Bar & Grill, a $100 VISA gift card from Adam Kirkpatrick Family Dentistry and an engraved apple for their desk.
