Special Thanks - I would like to thank the PTO for the fantastic week. The lunches were delicious and a week of surprises was very exciting. I loved getting candy, flowers, pictures, a gift card, and the memory book from the children. I would like to thank the parents and children for making this a great year.
The PTO has made an excellent choice for the Assembly. The children enjoyed listening to author, Craig Pierce as he told stories about the different jobs of dogs from rescuing people to visiting patients in the hospital. He also explained how books are written and illustrated. We look forward to reading his books.
There will be a Parent meeting at Prairieview on May 19th, at 6:30. Parents will have the opportunity to meet members of the staff, learn about the curriculum, and tour the building.
All library books are due back on Monday, May 17th.
