*Senior Sunday *

We are so excited to celebrate Bryn Reinick, a Prairie High School senior whose kindness and heart truly stand out. Bryn has been actively involved in FFA, Prairie 4-H, and FBLA, showing her dedication to agriculture, leadership, and service.

She plans to attend Northeastern Junior College to study Agricultural Business and Agricultural Communications, continuing to pursue her passion for the agricultural community.

Bryn’s genuine spirit, work ethic, and sweet nature make her a joy to be around. Prairie is proud of you, Bryn, and we cannot wait to see all that your future holds.

WHITE OUT
"You have such a February face, so full of frost, of storm and cloudiness" (Shakespeare). The 9th graders had a Shakespearean insult showdown to begin their study of "Hamlet" where they combined Shakespeare's words to form their own insults. It was a fun way to practice the Early Modern English language.
