Barron Families,

Our Pioneer Student Ambassadors are unleashing kindness this week in partnership with El Paso Animal Services!

Thank you so much to families who already brought goodies in; we’d love your help to keep the momentum howling! 🐶 Donations can be brought in through Friday, 02/20.


Each morning before the first bell, our ambassadors have been in the front office greeting families with confidence and kindness as they collect donations. They’ve been practicing their public speaking and leadership skills, and they are paws-itively excited to serve.

Be on the lookout for student-created flyers coming home soon. Our ambassadors designed them to help spread the word and inspire everyone to support this meaningful service project.

Thank you for helping us show that Pioneer Pride has heart and bark! 🐾💛
