Pioneer Junior High preparing for 50th anniversary
Plans are underway to mark Pioneer Junior High School's 50th anniversary.
Marge Ruffalo, principal, and a committee of volunteers are seeking to host a barbecue, an exhibit of school memorabilia, musical performances and a luncheon for honored guests on May 10.
Prices for the barbecue will be set at 1962 prices, which is the year the school opened.
The school is requesting Pioneer alumni, former teachers or administrators, especially people from the school's first few years of operation, to contact the school office if they would like to be part of the celebration.
The committee is also seeking to borrow old pennants, gym uniforms, athletic uniforms, cheerleading outfits as well as other Pioneer memorabilia to include in the exhibit.
Civic organizations, area businesses, Pioneer alumni or community members who would like to help with celebration expenses are welcome.
Any funds raised above the cost of the event will go toward the purchase of a new electronic sign to be placed in front of the school.
For more information on the celebration, call Joanne Pomierski at 909-949-7770.
