Dessert Day
Have you joined the new Dessert Day Club Membership 2021-2022 yet?! No?
Well head over to https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/ and pay only once this school year and get an ice cream dessert from Hershey's during a designated Dessert Day each month starting from February 2022 to May 2022!
Once you purchase a membership, your child will be given a ticket on Dessert Day to use towards his or her favorite frozen treat, so you won't need to do anything else. No punch cards necessary!
Please note that we disable the form on MTK a day before dessert day and reactivate it the day after dessert day is complete. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us!
This Month's Special Lunch from Subway
January Special Lunch will be provided by Subway! Head over to MTK (https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/) and get your orders in!
Last day to get your order in is January 14th!
School Store
School Store will be open during lunch! Keep checking Facebook for dates!
This is a fun way for the kids to purchase cute school supplies and small toys at lunch. Most items cost between 25 cents and $1.50.
Please send money with your child on School Store days!
Kids love shopping at lunch! Please remember to send in your kiddos with smaller bills.
All proceeds support our PTO and the fun community events we plan.
Let's Appreciate Our Staff!
Keep a look out for our next staff appreciation event in February! We’ll have more details on our Facebook page!

Puma Families! We need your help!

There you will find school order forms, volunteer opportunities, and the PTO calendar. We are looking for "General Volunteers," as well as a few more Chairperson's for events/committees!
For those who sign up as a "General Volunteer," we can contact you should we need additional help at the school, volunteers at PTO events, and/or Staff Appreciation donations. Please sign-up under the volunteer opportunities tab, and we will send you a Volunteer Link as needs arise.
Please know, you are not obligated to volunteer if you receive an email link.
Prairie PTO Mission
While we host several fundraising events, the mission of the PTO is to have events where our children can have fun, parents can meet other parents and we can bridge the gap between school and home. We truly want to have a sense of community among all our families. We welcome you to the community and are so excited to have you become part of the family.
When you sign up to attend events, buy Spirit Wear, participate in Dessert Day, Special Lunch, or make a donation, we are able to support our community in new and creative ways, including:
- supporting the school by purchasing needed Wish List items
- creating community among our parents, students, teachers, and staff
Please consider volunteering or donating items for events. We appreciate your support.
