Prairie Woods Elementary News

50th Day of Kindergarten

To celebrate the 50th day of school for our youngest Wildcats, our Kindergarten staff dressed to impress with poodle skirts and matching white sneakers. The actvities with the theme of '50' were a big hit. Can anyone say, "sock hop?"

2022 Honoring Veterans

On November 11th, staff and students throughout our district spent time honoring Veterans. From the FFA hosting a Veterans Day breakfast to local Veterans visiting elementary classrooms - we wanted to acknowledge and honor the service and sacrifices that Veterans make for our country. Visit our website to watch the video created by Malibu Sand that highlights the Prairie Woods' assembly. Many thanks to Diane Holmquist and Karen Johnson for their time spent coordinating this event.
