1998

Pioneer Middle School was a part of a SAMM (Schools and Museums Mingling) grant. Students and their advisor met with people from the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center to determine how we could combine learning, technology, and the state essential learning goals with the museum's desire to have some of their collection put onto a web page. Since the apple industry is important to our area and 1999 is the 100th anniversary of Chelan County, we decided that students at Pioneer would focus on the museum's Apple Blossom Festival artifacts and create a web page so they could be viewed by a wider audience. Thirteen seventh grade student worked on the project for four weeks. They researched history, interviewed former Apple Blossom Festival royalty, scanned pictures, made virtual reality movies, created HyperStudio stacks, and created a web page.

1999

This website was created as a result of a Schools and Museums Mingling (SAMM) grant in which Pioneer Middle School participated. All of the pages linked to this homepage were created by seventh grade students who spent four weeks researching assigned topics. A significant time was also spent working at the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center. The goal was to create an interesting and informative website, to share some of the history and artifacts of the Plateau Indian culture, and to make the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center's collection more accessible to the public. The pictures and artifacts that you will see are all part of the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center collection.
