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.

Dear Junior High Football Players and Parents,
The football season is right around the corner. It is definitely going to be an exciting and fun season at Prairie School. Through the sport of football, there are so many life lessons to be learned along with the skills necessary to play the game properly.
This season we are expecting to suit up a team of around 20 players! With only 55 minutes available in the last hour of school for practice and our first game is at the end of the third week of school, I feel it is vital that we spend some time preparing before school starts. I want to go over proper techniques for safety purposes, terminology, and get a jump start on our fitness to help avoid injuries.
When thinking about preventing injuries, you can start today by working on your fitness. Here are some ideas of what you can do now to help yourself have a more successful and injury free season.
• Always start your workout by warming up properly; jumping jacks, karaoke, a short one minute jog, and STRETCHES.
• 30 lunges
• 1 mile run
• 20+ pushups
• 30+ sit-ups
• Planks, box jumps, jump ropes, bicycle ride, swimming, play basketball
• STRETCH….. COOL DOWN
BEFORE OUR FIRST PRACTICE, there is some paper work that needs to be filled out and ready to turn into the office. Go to the Prairie School website (under Athletics then Junior High) and find the Parent/Guardian Information Form, Doctor Physical Examination Form, Risk of Injury Form (Warning to Student and Parents), and Illegal Substance Abuse Agreement Form.
The equipment that you will need to bring to the first day of practice; football cleats, shorts, t-shirt, water bottle, mosquito spray, sunscreen, and a breakfast bar to eat during our break.
Thursday, August 8th ……. 7:00am (sharp on the field) – 10:00am
(We will start handing out uniforms on this day)
Friday, August 9th ………….7:00am - 10:00am
Monday, August 12th ………7:00am – 9:00am (Or longer depending on Inservice start time)
Tuesday, August 13th………7:00am – 9:00am (Or longer depending on Inservice start time)
Wednesday, August 14th…First Day of School
** Also note our first game is September 5th against Pawnee, so we have 2 weeks to practice. Therefore, we will start our Tuesday after school practices right away the 20th. They will last until 5:00. These are not mandatory, but hopefully as many as possible can attend.
Please call me if you have any questions or concerns (970) 580-2059,
Glenn Carlson

We had one heck of a FFA State Convention! Montana Goodman placed Gold with her Prepared Speech on Livestock Antibiotics. The chapter came in second in the volleyball tournament. Mitch Dollerschell, Andrew Littlefield, and Alyssa Johnson earned the highest degree that the State can bestow upon them. David Spiecher and Andrew attended a reception to show off their grant projects and success. We attended the hypnotist show and came home with Katy Perry (ask Andrew for more details). Everyone attended a leadership workshop and we listened to inspirational speeches about how to vitalize our life, friends, school, and community. And we wrapped it up with a family dinner filed with giggles and good conversation.
It has been a long week, I push the kids to be their best constantly; even when they are tired and hungry. But I couldn’t be more proud of our students, they are persistently rising to the challenge and exceeding expectations. Thank you to our community and school that supports us to 1. Be able to afford to attend and 2. Listen to speeches, work with ours kids in their SAE, and so much more. We are beyond grateful!
Montana is headed to the final round!! We are so proud of her!
