Pioneer Eagles for the Troops

Hey Troops!

By now you have received our letters! We were honored to have the opportunity to write to you. During Veteran's Day week, the 8th grade at Pioneer Middle School read a short story called "Stop the Sun" by Gary Paulsen where we gained a little perspective on the sacrifice that soldiers and their families make when they serve our Country. We surely appreciate your service and the sacrifce that you and your family make for us. We hope that you enjoyed reading our letters and we wish you a safe journey back HOME!

We are very interested in finding out a bit more about you! Please give us a little information about yourself and where you are stationed.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say hi!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Santana's Class
