  16. Maintaining Our Building Yes, this place has seen better days and it’s showing its age… BUT: It’s all that we’ve got, and we’re not going to get a better building anytime soon… SO: We’ve got to make the best of it. Vandalism, trash, etc., just make it worse for all of us, and reinforce outsiders’ negative opinions about Pioneer. The staff will work with the student leadership team to make this place nicer, but we need everyone’s help!

  17. Being Good Neighbors • Be role models for the Crooked River students • Keep school food and trash in the school • Cross 3rd Street responsibly, at the cross walk • Share the park appropriately • Keep the volume at a reasonable level • Respect private property
