Today was our student worker Reid’s last day with us. To celebrate him—and his recent achievement of becoming a certified Zumba instructor—we held a special Zumba class for staff and students! It was a fun way to recognize all of his hard work and wish him the best as he begins this exciting new chapter. Thank you, Reid, for everything you’ve done for Pioneer. We will miss you this summer and wish you continued success!And we will see you next year! 💃🕺🎉

Summer 2026 SUN Bucks Program
SUN Bucks, Pennsylvania’s Summer EBT program, is a grocery benefits program that provides households with a one-time payment of $120 for each eligible child to buy food while school is out. Benefits can be used at local participating retailers to purchase groceries.

Many children will get these benefits automatically, but some households will need to apply. The benefits will be added to an existing SNAP/TANF EBT card or a newly issued Summer EBT card.

Note: Benefits for Summer of 2026 will begin being issued to all eligible children in early June.

Children who applied and were approved for free/reduced-price school meals or who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits are automatically eligible for SUN Bucks.

Most children who get Medicaid are also automatically eligible for SUN Bucks because their income level is under the income level for the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program. Children who get Medicaid through the Children with Special Needs category (PH 95) and children who are in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will have to apply for SUN Bucks.

For more information, visit the SUN Bucks webpage or call the SUN Bucks FAQ Line at 1-877-762-1575.
