The Introduction to Theatre and Communications classes enjoyed spending time with visitors from Autumn Pointe. The Theatre students did a great job presenting a dramatic reading of the “Spider and the Fly” by Mary Howitt and entertaining the Autumn Pointe residents with some theater games. The Communications students sharpened their presenting, conversing, and listening skills with more personal interactions with the residents. A wonderful time was had by all!

Preschool took a field trip to Super Bee Orchard in Fort Calhoun. They had a great time picking different types of apples. The preschoolers also got to check out how the apples are cleaned, sorted and stored. While visiting the orchard, they got to walk inside the refrigerator where the apples are kept. It was a perfect day for apple picking!!

This year in lieu of our Magazine Drive, the PFE is hosting a Walk-A-Thon as our main fundraiser. Money from this fundraiser will be used to improve the school for our children (technology needs, etc). ALL the money raised from the Walk-A-Thon will return to the school, unlike in past years where a large percentage went back to the company that ran the Magazine Drive.
We will be collecting donations for 3 consecutive WEDNESDAYS in September (9/13, 9/20, and 9/27). Please use the form below if you are submitting cash or checks. If your sponsors wish to pay by CREDIT CARD, direct them to our Walk-A-Thon site…………….

and be entered into a drawing for a large weekly prize……
The children in the class (PS-2nd & 3rd-6th) who raise the most money each week will also get another entry into the large prize drawing & the Teacher of the Class will receive a prize!
We will also be offering an “ALL ACCESS PASS” for a donation of $35/child the first week donations are collected (must be submitted by Wednesday September 13th). This PASS will allow your student to receive all the weekly small prizes as well as have their name entered two times per week in the drawing for the larger prizes.
Finally, we will be awarding an AWESOME prize for the 2 students who bring in the most donations (PS-2nd & 3rd-6th)….
If we reach 80% of our fundraising goal ($9,000), PFE will host a movie and popcorn for the school!
If we reach 100% of our fundraising goal ($11,250), PFE will provide lunch for the students and staff the day of the WALK-A-THON!

“The varsity Pioneer Volleyball and Football teams squared off in a preseason volleyball competition on August 17th. The football boys did their best and made game 3 an exciting one to watch, but they were no match for the Pioneer volleyball ladies, who went 3-0 on the night.”
