Calling all Prairie View families! Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 12, for an unforgettable night of exploration and fun. Whether your student is a budding scientist, a master artist, or a tech wizard, there is something for everyone. Don't miss the chance to travel through the stars in the SkyDome Planetarium, get hands-on with Ratchet Rocker Robotics, or find your next favorite read at the Book Fair. With food trucks on-site, dinner is handled—so you can focus on the crafts, math challenges, and amazing presentations. We can't wait to see our PVE community come together to celebrate Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math. Come join the fun!

Help Us Maintain the Hawk Store!

Dear Families,

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to support our school? Box Tops for Education has been around for over 25 years, and it really can make a difference. In fact, the Box Tops program has helped give almost one billion dollars to schools since 1996.

The Box Tops app gives participants the ability to earn for any school across the country with just the touch of a button. Plus, the Box Tops app allows you to search for schools that could use a little extra help, so you can help give students in low-income schools the opportunity to succeed.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and earnings are credited to your designated school online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your digital or email receipt with the Box Tops app and earn. Twice a year, our school gets a check! See a list of participating products at BTFE.COM/PRODUCTS

Box Tops earnings really add up, and the more people that participate, the bigger the impact we

can make. So let’s give our teachers the support they need and give more kids the opportunity to

succeed. Together, we can help make a big difference.

Quick Team-Building Games

• Blind Obstacle Course: Build a simple maze with pillows or toys. One person is blindfolded, and the rest of the family must work together to give clear directions to guide them through safely.
• Family Tower Challenge: Use whatever you have—plastic cups, blocks, or even playing cards—to see how high the family can build a tower together.
• Add-On Storytelling: One person starts a story with two sentences. The next person adds on, and so on. See how creative (and silly) the story gets when everyone contributes.

Has your child's teacher made a significant impact? Do you want to recognize a staff member who goes above and beyond? Celebrate a teacher or employee with a Wentzville Wow Factor Award anytime throughout the school year to let them know they are making a difference! Nominate a Staff Member.
