Recently, the St. Joseph-St. Elizabeth School fourth graders in the classes of Miss Stephanie Boss and Miss Anna Cunningham had their annual Pioneer Day.

Small groups of fourth graders and parent volunteers visited a variety of stations throughout the school with activities that pioneer children would have been familiar with.

Pioneer Day ended with square dancing.
