THANK YOU, PIONEER MILITARY FAMILIES! ❤️🤍💙

Our Red, White & You Social was pure magic, and it’s all thanks to our incredible military-connected families who came out to celebrate with us!

Huge gratitude to:
- Grand Canyon University for sponsoring all the food, snacks, and drinks
- Ft. Bliss School Liaison Office & MWR for powerful resources, the outdoor American flag Barron received in August, and 90 toy microphones that were a part of our trivia prizes
- El Paso MEPS for joyfully running game booths and engaging with our families
- And the amazing Dr. Torres Cheer Team for an unforgettable debut performance! 📣

This night was a community collaboration from Barron Elementary, Dr. Torres Elementary, and your Military Family Liaison, Ms. Chavez.

Happy Military Family Appreciation Month — we are SO grateful for you and can’t wait to do it again! 🇺🇸
