Skip cooking and grab dinner with us at the school with In-N-Out on Tuesday, January 20th, starting at 5:00 PM—just in time to be fueled up for STEAM Night at 6:00 PM!

Tickets are $8 each and include a hamburger or cheeseburger, chips, and a drink. This is a preorder-only event, so be sure to place your order by January 13th by scanning the QR code or visiting 👉 https://tinyurl.com/PTEInNOut26. Tickets will not be sold at the event and can be picked up at will call the night of Spirit Night.

Even better, 75% of the proceeds go back to Prairie Trail Elementary PTA, while the remaining 25% supports abused and neglected children through the In-N-Out Burger Foundation.

It’s a delicious way to support our school, give back to others, and enjoy an easy dinner before a fun night of STEAM. We hope to see you there! 🎉🤠

Hey Prairie Trail Texans! We’re bringing back a favorite — $1 Pajama Day is happening on Friday, January 23rd! 💤

Students can bring $1 to their teacher and wear their favorite pajamas to school for the day. Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting the 5th Grade End-of-Year Field Trip! 🎒🎉

Just a quick reminder to still wear proper footwear (no slippers, please). 👟

Thank you for helping us support our 5th graders while adding a little extra fun and coziness to the school day! ❤️🖤🤠

Menus for January:

• Breakfast Menu
• Lunch Menu

Do you have some special visitors who want to have lunch at PTE with a student and the parent/guardian won't be coming with them?

We can help you make that happen. You just need to fill out THIS FORM using an email that is listed for a parent/guardian of the student in Skyward. If you could fill out the form before 9:00 am the day they plan to come to lunch, we can make that happen.

The visitor will still need to bring their ID and check in through the office.

If the parent/guardian will be coming to lunch with the special visitors, there is no need to fill out the form. You being with them is sufficient.
Let us know if you have questions.

Thanks,

PTE Office Staff
