Today, 6th grade went to Top Golf and Gunther Toody’s for lunch for their reading reward field trip. We all had a great time , maybe a little too much fun with all the sugar, but we all had so much fun!!

Friendly reminder from the Prairie Office:

As we near the end of the school year, we are asking families to please check and clear any outstanding lunch balances by next week. Some balances are currently quite high and overdue.

Payments can be made easily through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you need help accessing your account, checking your balance, or making a payment, please contact Jessica in the office and she'll be happy to help.
As always, you can pay with cash or check in the office as well.

Thank you for helping us get accounts wrapped up before summer!
