Leaders in Action

The PTO at Pioneer Academy is at the very heart of the school. It is the parents who make the selection to ensure the best possible resources for their children. The journey of enrolling your child at Pioneer is only the beginning of a journey ahead. The parents at Pioneer Academy are always enthusiastic and eager to contribute to their school. There is a great sense of pride and ownership that comes in being a part of Pioneer Academy.

Everyone is welcome to attend and contribute. The executive board is always going above and beyond all expectations, organizing fun events and fundraisers.

This year, the PTO is led by Mrs. Laurelyn Alkiswani, along with huge support from other parents including Mr. James Fucetola, Mrs. Alina Pap, Dr. Silvia Pastor, Dr. Joseph Putrino, Mrs. Anela Radoncic-Kojic, Mrs. Fawziah Salem, and Mrs. Suzy Zaky. They work collaboratively and are full of bright ideas as to how to enhance the school.

We want to encourage everyone to join the PTO to help with the various committees and fundraisers to further support the efforts of supporting Pioneer Academy. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated and much needed. Many of you have special talents, and ability to contribute to the school on so many levels. We thank you for your enthusiasm and sharing outstanding resources to help to elevate the school and contribute to everyone.

We started this year strong with the Thanksgiving celebration, swiftly followed by the holiday season gift distribution to all staff. Huge shout out to the Salem family and Madam President Laurelyn Alkiswani for their dedication of the gift wrapping. It was wholeheartedly appreciated by everyone. The custom made gift bags and thermoses were a nice addition to the staffs’ swag.

The Holiday Season Staff Appreciation breakfast was fabulous. It was very festive, joyous and delicious. These types of events always bring us together as a Pioneer family.

Thanksgiving Celebration deserts were sponsored by: the Alkiswani family, the Kojic family, the Salem family, the Zaky family. The decor was sponsored by the Pap family!
