This made the pro- gram even better! During the rest of the week the children enjoyed a cultural ex- change among the classrooms, com- plete with passports to other lands. In the lunchroom, children had the opportunity to eat special lunches representing other cultures. Guest storytellers visited during the week. Students were spellbound by stories told by David Casey of the Twana Tribe and William Gilstrap's stories of the Raven and Crow. Children learned how to write some simple words in Chinese from Lai Wan Gunter. A Saint Martin's Univer- sity student from China, Jane Ni, shared stories about school and her childhood near Shanghai, China. Members of the Multicultural Committee spent many hours plan- ning the week's activities. They are Deborah Allen, Susan Casey, Lauri McGovern, Kate Mac William and Pat Peters. The Pioneer Par- ent Teacher Student Association and the Pioneer Kiwanis supported these programs with monetary con- tributions. "We want to thank the :Kiwanis and PTSA wholeheartedly for their generous donations," stated Mrs. McGovern. "We couldn't have had such a high-caliber week for our stu- dents without their kind support." In other news, the Pioneer Schools Foundation would like to remind everyone to attend its third annual auction this Saturday. It will be held in the multipurpose room used by the intermediate and middle-school students. It will begin at 6 p.m. and feature many large and small items to be auctioned throughout the eve- ning.
