The
Parent Center is located just inside the door to the brick
school building and is available to families of Pioneer School
during regular school hours. Our center
is based on a self-serve system. It was started several
years ago to serve as a resource to Pioneer School families. The
original funding to set up the center came from a grant from
Drug Free Schools (Title IV). The center has books, magazines,
videos, audio tapes, games and DVD’s on a variety of subjects,
some educational, some just for entertainment.
Samples of what the Center has to offer:
- Interested

information on learning disabilities such as ADD and
dyslexia? The Center has books and DVD’s

- Need
a craft idea to do with your child for an upcoming holiday? Want
a game to play with your child for the weekend? You
can find it at the Parent Center.

How it Works:
Our
Center is based on a self-serve system. Find what
you would like, sign your name to a card on the item you are
interested in, bring it back in a couple of weeks or when you
are done with it. It has an especially good selection of
magazines. Titles include: Parenting, Family Circle,
Family Fun, and Parents. Becky Murray has been a steadfast
volunteer at the center, putting cards in the magazines (and
other items) and putting them away when necessary. Thank-you
Becky! What would we do without you?
Activities:
The
Parent Center has sponsorsthe Christmas Craft Night. This annual event has been a lot of fun for
several of our families. If you have any ideas or suggestions
as to what other parent or family events you would like to see
at the school, or items you would like to see at the Center,
please contact the school. Come
check it out!!
