The Prairie School Community would like to send a BIG thank you to the men and women that serve our country!
We are honored to know so many Veterans and recognize each one on Veteran’s Day! We are forever grateful for your service.
We would like to specifically thank Mr. Ron Ericson, our crossing guard, for his service in the U.S. Coast Guard
Family Reading Night
Save the date! Family Reading Night is just around the corner. On Thursday, November 15th, Prairie will be hosting our annual Family Reading Night "One World, Many Stories". Family Reading Night is a statewide event sponsored by the Secretary of State, Jesse White. This event promotes and encourages families to spend quality time reading together. Your family will be able to enjoy a variety of reading stations that will be hosted by Prairie staff and student council. You are invited to join us at 6:30PM to browse and shop at our book fair. Family reading night runs from 7:00pm-8:00pm. We look forward to seeing you and sharing an evening of books, reading, and fun!
Cold Weather Wear
Please send your cuties to school with their mittens, scarves, and hats as needed. They love being warm when they are outside for recess. Thanks for your help.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are November 19th and 20th
- Monday, 11/19 from 5-7pm
- Tuesday, 11/20 from 2-7pm
- Your child's teacher will be sending a reminder home with your appointment date on Monday, 11/12.
- We do hope that you will be able to attend conferences in person. If you cannot, you may request a phone conference with your child's teacher and team members when appropriate. It is not the expectation of the District for teachers to recreate the conference experience outside the dates/times identified on the District calendar.
Babysitting for Parent Teacher Conferences
Twin Groves 6th Girl Scout Troop 41416 (former Prairie School Girl Scouts) will be providing babysitting services during the upcoming Parent-Teacher Converences. Please help Troop 41416 feed the hungry by utilizing their services. For 1 hour of babysitting Troop 41416 kindly requests 1 non-perishable food item or $2 donation per child (for children over 1 year of age only, please). Food donations will be given to the Vernon Township food pantry. Your support helps the girls of Troop 41416 earn their Silver Award. This award is the highest Girl Scout service award for Junior Girl Scouts. Locations are as follows:
Monday, November 19: 4:45 - 6pm in room 19
Monday, November 19: 6 - 7:15pm in the gym
Tuesday, November 20: 1:45 - 7:15pm in the gym
Children should be older than 1 year (we will not be changing diapers), parents cannot leave the school and must provide a cell phone number and a conference room number.
For additional information regarding babysitting please email Nina Strezewski at nina_strez@yahoo.com.

Can't make it to the Book Fair...Be sure to visit Prairie’s Online Book Fair:http://bookfairs.scholastic.
It is open for three weeks, November 4-24, and includes an expanded selection of books and other items. The best part is that all orders ship to Prairie for FREE, and each purchase directly benefits our school.
