🏃♀️🏃♂️ Pioneer Cross Country Shines at Leavenworth! 🏅
Our incredible Pioneer Cross Country team hit the trails in Leavenworth this past Saturday, competing against 24 other teams on a challenging 2.8-mile course! The hilly terrain didn’t slow them down—our athletes pushed through and delivered some amazing performances on the scenic Leavenworth ski trails. 🌲💪
The Lady Pioneers ran an especially tight and exciting race! With just 1 minute and 35 seconds separating our top 5 runners, they secured an impressive 4th place team finish out of 15 teams, just 3 points shy of third! 🎉
👏 Special shout-out to Ruby Freese for having the race of the day—she crushed her fastest average mile pace of the season despite the tough hills. Way to go, Ruby! 🔥

The Pioneer Men faced a bit of tough luck at the start when another team’s runner fell right in front of them, creating a traffic jam in the first 50 meters! 🚨 Despite this, our guys pushed through, with William Boers leading the charge and delivering a stellar performance. 💪 And a big shout-out to Trenton Werner for coming closest to his personal best mile pace!

The first day of school at East Omak Elementary is always a special occasion, filled with excitement, new beginnings, and the promise of a great year ahead. Students are welcomed with open arms, cheerful decorations, and the school's beloved mascot, adding to the joy of the day. The school goes the extra mile to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with colorful balloons, themed photo spots, and smiling faces all around.
Team One volunteers brought smiles and full bellies to East Omak Elementary’s Back to School Night on August 26th! They served up delicious hotdogs and chips, making sure everyone felt welcome and ready for the new school year. Plus, they went the extra mile by helping with crosswalk patrol every morning during the first week of school, keeping our kids safe. We’re so grateful for their kindness and dedication—they truly make our school community a better place!
