Our next round of Friday XTS clubs for our Pioneers has begun! One of the clubs being offered is "Dog Lover Club" where the students will learn about proper pet care, best practices, and more! Today's special guest was mobile veterinarian, Dr. Croom and Mr. Rob. Dr. Croom is Winston's veterinarian! She will periodically come to the school to talk about her practice, how she conducts check ups, what's new with Winston, and more!
Friday clubs truly are an unique experience for our scholars to connect with their teachers and interests!

We sent our first MathCounts team in several years to competition today and they did pretty well!
* Our team placed 2nd overall out of 14 schools in Southwest Michigan and qualified for the state tournament.
* 7 of our members individually qualified for the state tournament.
And our very own Shaurya K. was the OVERALL INDIVIDUAL winner of the entire competition!
This is even more amazing because Shaurya is one of our two 6th graders on the team!
Congratulations Pioneers, Mrs. Bishop (teacher sponsor), and Jason S., a junior at PCHS and coach of our MathCounts team!
Good luck at the state tournament at MSU in March!

PIONEER FAMILY!
We did it! We met and surpassed our shoe drive goal of 3,000 pairs of shoes! These shoes will be picked up soon by #Funds2Orgs who will ship them around the world for use in microenterprises, creating economic opportunities and sustainability in these communities. Learn more here: https://funds2orgs.com/impact/
Also, the winning grade of the "ShoesDay" Tuesday campaign is...
7TH GRADE!
Be on the lookout for your grade wide celebration event in the very near future!
Thank you to everyone that donated a pair of shoes. Thank you to our front office staff and student Career Explorers for managing collection and bagging! Whether 1 or 100, your donation helped us reach our goal as we continue to raise funds for our comfort dog Winston.
He's now in the building, continuing his training, and loving the love! Thank you again! Have a wonderful weekend!
