Teacher Appreciation Week
Thank you to the students and parents who helped make Teacher Appreciation Week so special. I really enjoyed the notes and goodies from students, and the breakfast and luncheon organized by PTO were both DELICIOUS!
Special Day for 5th Graders
Thursday is our 5th grade celebration. There will be games followed by a pizza lunch. After lunch, we will be heading over to Lakeview to catch a sneak preview/dress rehearsal of their musical, Fiddler on the Roof. It should be a great day!
Life-Saving-Grams
Ask your child about this fundraiser sponsored by Project Challenge. It is for the American Red Cross to help victims in Japan. If a student would like to participate, the form(s) and donation need to be turned in before May 25th! Extra "grams" can be printed from our school website!
Prairieview Talent Show
Talent show slips need to be turned in A.S.A.P. if your child is interested in trying out. Your child has been given a slip with all the information. It requires a parent signature in order for your child to participate.
