Rose Pioneer Newsletter

What an absolutely wonderful Fall Family Fun Night! The weather was perfect, and it was so nice to see so many of our students, families, and community members come together for an evening of fun. A huge THANK YOU to our Rose Pioneer parents, volunteers, families, and community members who helped make this event such a success! Whether you helped plan, volunteered your time, or simply came out to enjoy the evening, we are so grateful. Events like these remind me just how special our Rose Pioneer school family truly is!

Last week, we also had the opportunity to recognize students for their outstanding achievement on the MSTEP assessment. We celebrated students who earned advanced scores in math and literacy, including those who achieved perfect scores! While we are incredibly proud of these accomplishments, I also reminded our students that success isn't just about a score. It's about working hard, persevering, and always giving your personal best. Every student who puts forth their best effort has something to be proud of!

Our third grade students have an exciting opportunity coming up with a visit to Holly High School! A letter was sent home sharing the details of this experience. Please take a moment to review the information (I have also attached it below). If you do not want your child to participate, please notify your child's third-grade teacher. We look forward to this special opportunity for our students!

As we head into our Halloween celebrations, I want to wish all of our Rose Pioneer families a fun, safe, and happy Halloween! I hope your evening is filled with lots of smiles, laughter, and wonderful memories.

Thank you for being such an important part of our Rose Pioneer family!

Sincerely,

Carrie Keech
