The Prairie PTO Staff Appreciation Committee will be hosting a dinner for teachers and staff during Family Educator Conferences on Mon., Nov. 19.

We'll be putting together a Pasta Bar. There are plenty of items to donate. You can make it, bake it, or buy it–or if you don't have time to do that, you can donate CASH and we will do the work for you. Let's show our Prairie Staff how Thankful we are for them. SIGN UP TO DONATE ITEMS

Donating money?  Send  to the Prairie School Office CASH ONLY in a sealed envelope marked "Staff Appreciation" OR log in to the Prairie PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT and donate using Paypal or credit card.
