Landscape Committee Needs Your Help

Love our school prairie and plantings? We need your help!

PPCS is a charter school that doesn’t receive the same level of funding as other public schools, so our beautiful landscape is cared for almost entirely by volunteers — and we’re looking for more folks to join in!

We’re especially seeking:

Helpers to coordinate WSU/UI volunteer groups next fall (you pick the time!)
Families to adopt a section of the landscape or stop by occasionally to do what’s most needed
A summer crew to help with watering and weeding
Weeding Wednesdays: Join us anytime between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m.

No special knowledge needed — just willingness to help and be part of this awesome space. Contact Malinda at (208) 596-8167 or mritts@palouseprairieschool.org. And follow “Friends of PPCS Landscape Committee” on Facebook!

Bike & Roll to School 5/7

May 19 and May 26 - No School

May 19 is a professional development day. There will be no school. There are several more spots left in our Art Camp that day. Your spot may be reserved upon payment. May 26 is Memorial Day.

Lost and Found

The lost and found bins are over flowing again!

With the weather warming up, kids are shedding their winter gear and much of it ends up in lost and found. Please stop by and have a look. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the school year.

Community Circle Dates for K-5

Parents are welcome to attend community circles with kindergarten through 5th grade. They're held on Fridays beginning at 8:30. Each community circle celebrates an EL Design Principle.
