Pioneer
Hat's on for Seuss books
By KAREN EVERETT
It was a Great Day/br Up for
the children at Pioneer last Fri-
day as they celebrated Dr. Seuss
Read Across America Day. This
event commemorates Dr. Seuss'
birthday. He was born in 1904
as Theodore Geisel and wrote 44
boQks for children as Dr. Seuss.
By the use of clever rhymes,
tongue twisters and zany illus-
trations Dr. Seuss enticed four
generations of children to love
reading. In his book Great Day
for Up, Dr. Seuss wrote: "Wake
every person, pig and pup, till
everyone on earth is up!" Parents
and grandparents were invited
to celebrate with the children
by joining them in reading such
classics as The Cat in the Hat,
Green Eggs and Ham, Fox in
Socks and many more. It was a
special way to celebrate reading
and appreciate a gifted author.
The Pioneer Math Department
under the direction of Heather
Ireland has planned a Parents
Math Night on March 15 at 6
p.m. in the gym used by students
in the intermediate and middle
school. With the assistance of
Author at MMK

Mary M. Knight School on Thurs-
day, March 22, to lead a workshop
and sign books.

grade will be able to meet and in-
teract with Riva that day.
personnel from Educational Ser-
vice District 113, Pioneer teach-
ers will guide parents and give
tips on how to prepare students
for the upcoming Washington
Assessment of Student Learn-
ing, which will be given at the
end of April.
Along with going over sample

relieve test anxiety. Parents will
have the use of the school com-
puter lab to access further infor-
mation from the Office of the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruc-
tion Web site with the help of the
staff in attendance.
"The purpose of the Math Night
is to talk about how we can help
our kids be successful in taking
the WASL," stated Mrs. Ireland.
Infbrmation about this night
has been sent home with the stu-
dents. Parents with students in
K-12 are encouraged to attend.
Refreshments will be served. Any
questions may be directed to Mrs.
Ireland at 426-8291.
Pioneer snow make-up days
have been decided by the dis-
trict. This will require adjust-
ments on the district calendar
sent home last September. The
added days are April 2, May 29,
June 21 and June 22. This means
that June 19 and 20 will be full
days and June 21 and 22 will
be shortened days. One missed
weather day was waived by the
state due to the large number of
bad-weather days that districts
faced this year=
