Non-Traditional Career Exploration Days at Pioneer

Non-Traditional days are coming up soon! There have been announcements this past week about another opportunity to visit Pioneer. This is one that I am pretty excited about!
The trip taken by the entire 8th grade includes quick visits to many different programs. This does not give much time for students to ask questions and get a real sense of what Pioneer can offer them.
Non-traditional days give students the opportunity to spend an entire day at Pioneer. On December 10th, boys can get a closer look at the Health programs, Performing Arts Academy, Culinary Arts, Cosmetology Lab, Horticulture Lab, and Graphic Arts. On December 2nd, girls can get a closer look at Carpentry, Auto Technology, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, Industrial Electricity, IT Support, Masonry, Precision Machining, and Welding.

This is an all-day career event for eighth grade students. They will ride to and from Pioneer on Lexington buses. Lunch is provided at no cost. All materials are provided at no cost. Students will even receive some items to take home.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, see Miss Cavalier for more information!

Community Resources The holidays are quickly approaching. When we think of the holiday season, we often associate these times with joy and family celebration. Throw in some stress, overeating, and family conflict, and you have the stereotypical holiday celebration! However, the holidays can also be a painful reminder of lost loved ones and the struggles that life brings. Many people struggle with grief, financial hardship, depression, and countless other issues. Special occasions tend to put a spotlight on these struggles. Fortunately, there is help available. Richland County has a number of resources to help people through tough times. First Call of Richland County is a great place to start. I have called many times to get information on food pantries, help with bills, clothing needs, housing questions, etc. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly.

Is it Spring yet?   Are you enjoying our long weekend?  I do not know about you, but these few days have been a huge asset for me to be able to get caught up on some of the work that I needed to do.  I hope that you have also made use of these days and were able to get caught up on anything you were behind on and prepared for the weeks ahead.   Obviously, one challenge of the cold days is that it impacted the PARCC testing schedules.  On Tuesday we will begin the Geometry test. We will also make-up any students that missed a portion of the Algebra test.  A reminder for the 8th grade students, your English testing will begin this week also. There will be three sessions: February 27th, March 3rd and March 5th.  Next week the 7th graders will begin their English testing on March 2nd, March 4th and March 6th. These days are really sneaking up on us! Hopefully you are all making every possible effort to be in school for the testing each day, bu...
