Our Pioneer Pantry Story for Our CommUNITY!
In 2025, we were officially open on 7 days (11/14/25) in addition to Ms. Collins bringing families out as needed. We served about 12 families, with a reach of over 50 people.
We have received over 300 pounds of supplies, including food, hygiene items (toothbrush/paste, pads/tampons, soap and shampoo), baby items (diapers/wipes), and household supplies (detergent, dish soap). And we have distributed about half of what has been donated!
Most needed items have been: laundry detergent, toothbrush/toothpaste, baby wipes, canned fruit, veg and beans, sugar, granola bars, dry pasta, and baking mixes and baking supplies (sugar, canola oil).

The cafeteria would love to welcome parent volunteers to help with lunch monitor duties. Volunteers will assist with everything from opening those pesky juice boxes to encouraging positive behavior with a smile!
Lunchtimes have been extended this year! Students will now be in the cafeteria from 10:20 to 12:51.
FRIDAYS NEED MORE HELP!!!
Can't stay the whole time? No problem! We welcome any amount of help — feel free to sign up even if you can only stay for part of your selected slot.
GENTS (Guys Engaging and Nurturing Tomorrow's Scholars) is a PSE's men's volunteer group.
Our goals are simple:
Give students more opportunities to interact with positive male role models.
Lend a hand at key school events like the Winter Carnival.
We’re starting small — just one hour a week from one male volunteer on campus—and we’ll grow from there.
After you sign up, we'll be in touch to confirm your role and schedule.
