Prairie School District

*Senior Sunday*
We are proud to celebrate Cayde Marler, Class of 2026. Cayde approaches his future with curiosity, ambition, and an open mind. With plans that include engineering, hands-on apprenticeship opportunities, and the possibility of serving a church mission, Cayde is thoughtfully exploring every door in front of him.

Whether his path leads to CMU, CSU, Colorado School of Mines, BYU, or beyond, one thing is certain: Cayde is ready for the adventure ahead. Prairie is proud of your determination and excited to see where your journey takes you.

🏀💛🖤 Thank You, Mustang Nation! 🖤💛🏀 The Prairie Boys Basketball Team would like to send a huge THANK YOU to all of the fans who came out to support us at the State Tournament, to everyone who cheered us on from home, and especially to our amazing Little Mustang Cheerleaders! 📣 Your energy, encouragement, and school pride mean the world to us. We truly couldn’t have had the success we did without the incredible support of our Prairie Mustang community. Thank you for standing behind us every step of the way. Once a Mustang, always a Mustang! 💛🖤🐎

GOOD LUCK to our High School Knowledge Bowl team today and tomorrow as they head to Greeley to compete in the state competition!

We are proud to celebrate Nicole Ludgate, a Prairie High School senior whose leadership, dedication, and heart have made a lasting impact. Nicole has been actively involved in FBLA, Mustang Squad, concurrent enrollment courses, and has served as a High School Volleyball Captain.

Nicole plans to attend Northeastern Junior College before transferring to UNC or CSU to earn her bachelor’s degree and pursue her dream of becoming an elementary teacher.

Her positive spirit and steady determination truly reflect her senior quote: Clarity over confusion and confidence in the path ahead. Prairie is proud of you, Nicole, and excited to see all you accomplish in this next chapter.

Prairie Mustangs finish strong at the state tournament! Our boys battled their way through the state tournament and came home with a Consolation Championship win, finishing 5th in the state. The Mustangs went 2–1 on the weekend, with their only loss coming by just two points to the #3 team in the state. Entering the tournament as the #6 seed, this group showed so much grit and perseverance. We are so proud of the MuStAnGs! 🖤💛🐴🏀 📸: Eastern Plains Sports Network

STATE BASKETBALL UPDATE: MUSTANGS survive and move on to the consolation championship tomorrow at 10:30 AM vs Stratton/Elbert. GO MUSTANGS!

State basketball update: The Mustangs fell to #3 Cheyenne Wells yesterday 36-34. It was a GREAT GAME, and your Mustangs played so good! They play today in the consolation bracket at 10:15 vs Sierra Grande! Pack the gym, again! Go Mustangs! 💛🖤📍

Here is our updated March Music Madness bracket. We have narrowed down the elite eight, and will continue voting after Spring Break!

Can't make the pep rally this afternoon? It will be live streamed on our YouTube channel!! https://youtube.com/@prairieschool1966?feature=shared

JOIN US TOMORROW MORNING, at 7:20 AM as we line the road leading up to the school to watch our boys basketball team off to the State Tournament. The bus will be escorted down the highway by our wonderful Stoneham/New Raymer Fire Department.

GO MUSTANGS!

Prairie School will no longer be using Venmo as a form of payment. Please plan to use cash or check for any future payments to the school. We also ask that you remove “Prairie School” from your Venmo payment list to avoid any confusion. Thank you for your help with this change!

The staff of Stitch-N-Stangs would like to thank everyone who placed an order for a state basketball t-shirt! Unfortunately, due to the large size of our order and the unpredictable nature of the production/shipping process, the designs will not arrive in time for the tournament as we had hoped. We will get to work printing and delivering the t-shirts as soon as we return from spring break. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Go Mustangs!

The Prairie Mustangs are headed into SPRING BREAK!
There will be no School March 12-22. See you back on March 23!

Parents, families + Community members are all invited for a Pep Rally tomorrow afternoon to celebrate our Boys Basketball team as they head to the State Tournament!

JUST A REMINDER:

NO SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, MARCH 12, so our staff, students and school families can make the trip to Greeley to watch the Mustangs take on Cheyenne Wells in the Great Eight round for the Class 1A State Basketball Tournament!
