Dear Families,
As we head into winter break, I'd like to wish you all Happy Holidays. This is always a wonderful time of year to spend extra time with family and friends building new memories. Students finished out the day with fun winter parties.
The entire Praire staff wishes you and your family a safe and happy winter break!
Kindly,
Christine Pfaff ~ Principal
