Life on the Prairie
ABC Countdown Begins Next Week!
Can you believe it? It's here! Student Council is sponsoring this year's ABC Countdown. Check out the calendar and get in on the fun.
Two, Four, Six, Eight . . . Who Do We Appreciate?
We have the greatest teachers of all time! And what better way to show appreciation for all that they do than with a gift card giveaway hosted by our very own principal, Mr. Lobbins. The PTO needs your help in collecting funds for gift cards that will be purchased by the PTO and raffled off to the teachers on Wednesday, May 6th. Please consider donating using this link. Any amount will help make the teachers feel appreciated and loved.
The Book Fair is Back!
Students will be visiting the book fair with their ELA class (6th-Tuesday, 7th-Wednesday, 8th-Monday). The fair will also be open to everyone Thursday and Friday during school hours. Cash, credit and digital payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay) will be accepted.
Did you know? Students who read just 4-6 books over the summer are significantly more likely to retain their reading level and start the next school year with confidence. Let’s keep those minds active!
Volunteers Needed! We need your help! If you would be willing to help our wonderful librarian Laura Winter with checkout, please sign up here.
8th Grade Yard Signs Available
Celebrate your 8th grade student’s accomplishments with a celebratory yard sign! Order here by April 30th for pick up in early May.
8th Grade Social: Viva 8th Grade!
All Prairie 8th graders are invited to celebrate in style at our Viva 8th Grade! Event - a fun, high-energy night honoring your middle school memories and milestones. For just $10 per ticket, enjoy pizza and snacks, a live DJ playing your favorite music, and a 360-degree photo booth to capture unforgettable moments with friends.
This year’s Game Night-themed celebration will feature a variety of exciting, school-appropriate games. Upon check-in, each student will receive the same number of tickets to use throughout the night, no extras to buy, giving everyone an equal chance to play and win. Prizes include both physical items and fun “experience” prizes, making the night even more memorable.
With easy-to-play activities, plenty of laughs, and a lively atmosphere, it’s all about connecting with friends and celebrating the journey before heading off to high school.
Don’t miss it - this is a night you’ll remember!
