Student Council News
Next Friday, April 19th the student council is sponsoring Decade Day! Whether it is 50's rock 'n roll, 70's hippie or 80's punk, dress like your favorite decade! We can't wait to see all the creative outfits!
PTO Board Positions & Committee Chairmanships
It is that time of year again. On the PTO website, you will find forms to sign up both for the open Executive Board positions and for Chairs. It is the most fun to chair events with friends so if there is something that interests you, see if you can find a friend and indicate this on the form. If you are currently in a Chair or Board position and wish to continue, you still need to fill out and return a form indicating this. Some of these committees take very little time to run and are great for those of us with super busy schedules. Email Suzanne Dicker, suzannedicker@yahoo.com, or Cynthia Zarkowsky, zarkstron@sbcglobal.net, with questions and they will be happy to steer you in a good direction.
There are a GREAT MANY SPOTS to fill! Please consider getting involved at some level. It takes many hands to do all the things that make Prairie so special.

The Prairie School Student Council is sponsoring a toy drive to provide children in our community with toys and games. Prairie students and families are invited to donate gently used toys and games. Toys and games can be dropped off in the lobby entrance. The toy drive runs from April 8-April 19. Our school-wide goal is to collect 400 toys or games! If we reach our goal, all of the students at Prairie School will be rewarded with a Prairie Pod Party, where students can play games with any other kids in their pods. Let’s all work together to meet our goal and help out less fortunate children in our community! Click here for a terrific Toy Drive commercial.
