The first Pioneer Day was planned and held by two teachers on a sunny Sunday in May at the end of the school year in 1991. Fourth grade was still at Hubble Elementary at the time, said Marianne Baker. We were exhausted pioneers after that first celebration, Deborah Wilkerson laughed. But we knew we’d do it again and the next year and we convinced the other fourth grade teachers to join us. Then in 2001 we moved to the new school, Shook Elementary and continued the Pi...oneer Day celebrations, said Baker. Today, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of fourth grade Pioneer Day in Marshfield, added Wilkerson. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS HERE:
