Pioneer PRO, the student service group at Pioneer High School, has once again received financial help from local veterans groups in the midst of the holiday season.
PRO, or Panthers Reaching Out, was formed in the aftermath of 9/11 as a way for students to lift up others.
PRO Advisor Louise Herrick said, "PRO's Giving Tree program and the Pioneer PRO club wish to thank our community for their generous support of this year's program. The Giving Tree program offers assistance to Pioneer families for the holiday season."
