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…………….

“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.”
