September 11: Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance

Today we honor and remember the almost 3,000 people that lost their lives during the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001. We also remember the heroic efforts of first responders that risked their lives answering the call.

Pioneer Summer Adventures – Summer League baseball

“My favorite part of the experience was working with the guys and experiencing a different side of sports. I was thrown into the fire and had to act quickly in many different situations for the first time. I learned about what goes on behind the scenes and had opportunities to collaborate with the local high school choir, Dansville Special Olympics, and many local businesses.”Jenna George
