Paws & Pioneer Pride in Action! 🐾
Next week (Feb. 16–20), Barron Elementary’s Pioneer Student Ambassadors are leading a Kindness Drive in partnership with El Paso Animal Services! Our 3rd–5th grade ambassadors are learning leadership, responsibility, and compassion by helping animals in need.
📦 How families can participate:
• Donate items for animals in need (drop off at the front office)
• Join our Kindness Dress-Up Days by wearing animal-themed attire, fun socks, cozy pajamas, or outfits that show kindness and leadership
Every donation and every act of participation helps make a pawsome difference for our community and shows true Pioneer Pride! 🐕💛
