This week, our Barron Student Ambassadors had the opportunity to hear directly from El Paso Animal Services about how their hard work is making a difference. 🌟🐶❤️
Because of the generosity of our Barron families, we proudly donated 135 items to support animals in our community. Watching our ambassadors listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and see the impact of their leadership was truly special.
This is what the Student Ambassador Program is all about — building confidence, responsibility, and heart through service. 🫶
If you have a future 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader who may be interested in joining next year, please keep an eye out for an informational meeting at the end of the school year.
Thank you, Barron families, for supporting our students and helping them turn kindness into action. 🐶💛

Barron Families,
What a paws-itively incredible week! Thanks to your generosity and the leadership of our Pioneer Student Ambassadors, we collected 132 donation items for El Paso Animal Services. 🐾❤️🐶
Our Student Ambassadors greeted families each morning, spread the word through student-created flyers, and led this service project with confidence and heart. Because of your support, they were able to see what it means to turn kindness into action. ☀️
Next week, a representative from El Paso Animal Services will be collecting items and visiting our ambassadors to share how the donations will help animals in our community and to personally thank them for their efforts. We are excited for our students to see the real impact of their leadership.
The Student Ambassador Program is designed for 3rd–5th grade students who are ready to grow as campus leaders through service, responsibility, and community involvement. If you have a future 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader who may be interested in joining next year, please keep an eye out for an informational meeting toward the end of the school year. 📲
Thank you, Barron families, for rallying together and showing that Pioneer Pride truly has heart. Every item collected represents kindness in action.🐶💛
