Poetry Coffee House a Huge Success!
Thanks to Mrs. Foernssler and Mrs. Kozlowski who helped to provide treats and drinks for our Coffee House enjoyment. Also, thanks to all who shared a bit of rhythm and rhyme with us. It was neat to hear so many different kinds of poems with such expression and enthusiasm!

Lunch Ticket Orders
Students should be ordering lunch tickets on Mondays if they want to eat school lunches. They should not be visiting the office each morning for tickets. If for some reason a student runs out of tickets and does need to purchase a ticket in the morning, the student must have exactly $2.25. Tickets will not be given if a student does not have this exact amount! If you have questions or concerns about this school policy, please contact the Prairieview office.

Please make time Thursday, April 17th between 6:45 - 8:30 p.m. to visit the Spring Open House and Book Fair at Prairieview School. The students will have their inventions on display as well as several other items to view that evening. See you there!
