Dog Days of Summer

Raise your hand if you think summer goes by way too quickly! We agree! It's nice to reflect on the past year and slow down the pace, but August gets us excited for the new year and new opportunities, especially when we hear the clanging sound of the metronome!


Thanks for all the positive feedback on our new monthly newsletter. We hope you find it informative and fun!

Flag Fundraiser Success


This year our efforts to improve the flag fundraiser paid off! We sold over 900 flags, compared to 700 last year. Thank you to all of our parents and students that joined the blitz in April, the flag-building in May and all the installation days throughout the summer. It's obvious Sauk Prairie loves this fundraiser and we'll continue to improve next year!
