Good morning, Pioneers! 

Today is our last day of school, and what an incredible year it has been. Thank you for your hard work, your perseverance, and the many ways you have helped make our school community stronger.

As summer begins, take time to enjoy God's creation—get outside, breathe some fresh air, spend time at the lake, go for bike rides, explore, read books, play board games, and make lots of memories with family and friends. Most importantly, stay connected to your faith. Continue to pray, attend Mass, and look for ways to share God's love with others.

Have a safe, joyful, and blessed summer. We look forward to seeing you again in the fall.

This is a friendly reminder that you should be tracking your Service this Summer in the new 26-27 Service Tracker on your Google Service Classroom! It will not be approved until the beginning of the school year, so just make sure you are tracking it as you go, and once school starts, you can turn it in! 

Service is an important component of the Pioneer way, so the summer is a great opportunity to serve and get involved in your local community!
