Postponed: 1st-3rd Grade Movie Night

Prairie Movie Night Postponed

Movie night is postponed! We are still looking for volunteers to help plan and run 1st-3rd Grade Movie Night. Because we are still looking for volunteers, we had to reschedule Movie Night.

Keep checking our Facebook page for an updated day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

 

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 (from March 2022 to May 2022)!

Once you purchase a membership, your child will be given a ticket on Dessert Day to use towards the student's 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!

 

Coming This Week: Book Fair

Prairie PTO Book FairBook Fair is happening this week!

Students will be doing a walk-through with their classrooms on their designated days, and we will also be open during conferences.

 

 

 

 

School Store Opening During Lunch

School Store coming during Lunch

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.

 

Next Generation Box Tops Is Here

Help the PTO earn funds to purchase supplies for our school. The new and improved Box Tops mobile APP uses state-of-the-art technology to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to your school's earning online. Your school's earnings are automatically updated online.

Super easy to use! And no more clipping or forgetting to send in those Box Tops to school!

Puma Families! We need your help!

Head over to https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/
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," you can expect to be contacted when 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 or 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.
