Community Service Opportunity - Reminder
Prairieview students have the opportunity to sponsor a therapy dog for Edwards Hospital. Students were asked to earn $3-5 by doing small jobs/chores at home or around the neighborhood. If your child chooses to participate, coupon sheets and money need to be returned by Nov. 19th!
