I am pleased to announce that three Prairie High School students placed in the 2020 Nell Propst Historical Essay and Art contest. Winners were announced last week.
"Participation in the History Contest requires that students submit a written thesis on local history as specified in the contest rules below. Thesis topics are limited to an individual, group of individuals, historic place, or an event affecting and occurring within the geographical area of Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld and Yuma Counties in northeast Colorado.
All entries submitted for final judging will be included in a bound book. Copies of this book will be given to each entrant, their school library and the Sterling Overland Trail Museum." There is also an art contest available to students where students submit photographs or art pieces depicting eastern Colorado. The first place winner's art is the cover for this year's book.
ELI MARLER was the FIRST PLACE winner in this year's essay division with his essay titled, "MUSICAL REVERBERATIONS: GLENN MILLER’S BOYHOOD HOME. Eli will receive a $3,000 scholarship. Sailor Green Becker was the 3rd place essay winner with her essay titled, SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW...BRIDGE. Sailor will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
MaKayla Baker won 2nd place in the art contest and will receive a $750 scholarship.
Congratulations to these students! These are very prestigious awards chosen from many applicants.

Depending on how they present it and the health department rules, I am hoping to hold a "watch party" and we could all do this at the school or students can do it at home. Not sure what that will look like, but I promise to keep you posted as things progress. Thank you for your patience and grace as well figure all of this out.

RE-11 Prairie School Graduation Ceremony Plan –
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Prairie School District is unable to have a normal graduation ceremony for our 2020 graduates. Working in cooperation with the Weld County Health Department we will host a modified graduation ceremony on the football field for the graduates and their immediate families on Saturday, May 16, at 10:00 A.M (weather permitting).
Other family members, friends, and community members may watch a live feed of the ceremony by going to http://prairieschoolgraduation.com/. Thanks to Ross Stump for providing this technology.
If friends and community members would like to congratulate the class of 2020 in a more personal way, the Health Department is permitting us to drive vehicles around the track to solute the seniors immediately following the ceremony (at approximately 10:45 A.M.) Everyone will be required to stay in the vehicles and will not be allowed to hand presents or cards to the graduates.

Dear Parents and Guardians, When we left school a week ago for spring break not many of us thought we would be saying goodbye for over a month. The Corona Virus has definitely altered the course of the school year among other things. Our community is made up of hard working families and I have no doubt that as a community we can turn this challenge into an opportunity. Our staff has been training on blended learning (E-Learning and Distance Learning) for the past two years and we are ahead of the curve for facing a situation such as this one. Will it be perfect? Doubtful. Will we need to tweak it as we go to better suit students and their families? Absolutely! Communication will be key to the success of this program. Let's work together for our students. Let's set the bar for how schools, students, and communities can persevere in the face of this adversity.
I will be emailing out more information today. If you are not getting emails from me, please email me at tpiel@prairieschool.org right away.

Prairie School Nutrition Services:Prairie School will offer both breakfast and lunch for any child up to 18 years old- free of charge. Bagged meals will be available for pickup in a "Grab and Go" drive-through style for families to pick up and take home. The pick-up point will be at two locations. One of the locations will be at Stoneham Community Building from 10:00-10:15 and the second location will be at the New Raymer Community building from 10:45-11:00. The meals will begin on Monday, March 23, and again on Wednesday, March 25, at the same time. The Monday/Wednesday schedule will continue until school resumes. You can remain in your car and staff will get the food to you. There will be enough in the bags for two days for breakfast and 2 days for lunch. We would like to get an idea of how many will take advantage of the breakfast and lunch so we know how much food to prepare. Please email Tabitha Piel at tpiel@prairieschool.org to let me know if you would like to pick up food, which location, and how many children at your earliest convenience?
If families are in need of lunches and breakfasts that do not live in our area, they may go to the following website to see the meals that are provided for students at different locations: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=eaae70d787a643b59359fe09e99b88d1

Zones of regulation.... Learning all about our emotions. Color zone green means happy and ready to learn. Color zone blue means sleepy or sick. Color zone yellow means silly or worried. Color zone red means angry or upset. Then we learned tools to help us when we need to get out of the yellow, blue, and red zone to get back to the green zone so we are ready to learn.

Bobby Jones is a motivational speaker who gave a phenomenal presentation to Prairie, Pawnee, and Briggsdale Schools today. He shared some awesome quotes with us today:
"Talent will take you where character can't take you."
Five Things to Take You Down the Right Path:
1. Figure out who you are.
2. The past is the past for a reason; don't let it define your future.
3. Who are you hanging out with? ** Watch the people who you are hanging out with.
4. There are people who know more than you do. Listen to them.
5. Find a way to give back. How you serve others is better for you.
"One big fall comes from one hundred bad decisions."
"You do not know how addicted you are until you try to walk away and then you can't."

More holiday fun from second grade!!
Second grade holiday fun! Reading under the Christmas lights with finger flashlights, sipping hot chocolate, and spending time with friends!
Elementary Christmas Movie Day is underway!!! Yeah The Grinch! Thanks to the elementary teachers and student support committee for the awesome popcorn bar!
The Ag program had a great day! We went to the front range and toured Fagerberg Produce (onion processing and the farm), 4 Rivers Equipment, and Double J Meat Processing. Students asked tons of questions! What a great way to close out the semester.
Fagerberg was the first farm in Colorado to implement drip irrigation to its crops. Today they use the system in over 300 acres. They also have 2,00 acres from Eaton to Fort Morgan. 4 Rivers Equipment houses $2.8 million dollars worth of parts for Ag and construction equipment needs. They showed us new technology on forage harvesters that will measure moisture content, partial size and so much more while harvesting your crop. And Double J walked us through the process of a cow becoming the product on our grocery shelves. They also harvest bison there. We learned about the by-products, aging beef products and quality assurance.
Our second stop was Empower Field @ Mile High where we toured the facility and learned about all the areas of the business. On a game day, there are 3700 employees working and running the stadium. What a wide variety of potential careers!
Business students visited Hammond's Candy factory today as our first stop on our industry tour trip. They learned about how a small family owned candy shop turned into the largest hand made candy distributor in the U.S.

All year long the students have been making a good character chain!! When students are “caught” showing a strong character trait, they are rewarded with a treat and smile from their teachers and staff!! If the students reach their finish line goal by the end of the semester, they all get a surprise!!
Check out the chain when you are in the building this week!! We are SO proud of all the amazing character we have seen in our students!! ❤️❤️
Ag III/IV presenting their final project. They took on the task of selecting a crop and “selling” it as the best crop.
