Student Motto
I am an Indian Prairie Elementary School student. I have pride in myself and my school. I am full of possibilities. I can learn, I will learn and I must learn. I believe I must start today to prepare for my future. I am determined to work hard today to make the next day possible. I pledge to make the right choices, not because it’s expected but because it’s the right thing to do.
