Congrats to our Super WOW Showdown - Week 1 Winners - Mrs. Aretos' 2nd Grade Class!!
Good afternoon Prairie Families,
As we enter the final month of the school year, I want to commend our students for their perseverance and dedication, especially as they completed the Spring MAP assessment. We’re proud of their efforts and growth. As we wrap up the year, we have a variety of exciting events planned to celebrate our achievements and finish the year strong!
Our Super WOW Showdown is well underway. A huge congrats to our Week 1 Winners - Mrs. Aretos’ 2nd grade class! Our students are super motivated and excited, and our staff has been so proud of how well students have responded to this fun and friendly competition. Let’s keep it up, Pumas!
As the weather shifts toward warmer days, please remind students to check the lost and found—it's filling up quickly with jackets, water bottles, and other items that need to be claimed.
Have a great weekend,
Ms. Lauren Delahanty
Principal
