A Family Guide to 2024-2025 Pioneer Springs Fundraisers

Did you know that charter schools receive significantly less funding than traditional public schools? Bridging this funding deficit is essential for providing high quality academics, and a unique educational experience.

Pioneer Springs has a commitment to hosting fundraisers that are connected to our mission, and that build community.
We also have a commitment to limiting the number of times that we ask you to make a financial contribution each school year. This year, we will be asking for the following contributions:
