Prairie PTO Welcome Back

Puma families! We are so excited to welcome everyone back to school! Please head over to MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT ~ prairie pto.membership toolkit.com ~ and update your student's information!! Stay tuned for more information about all the upcoming PTO events.

 

Puma families, let's send a nice 'welcome back' to all the Prairie staff by providing them with breakfast items on Wednesday, August 24. We are asking for your help to provide breakfast items to all the staff! Head over to MTK (prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com)!

If you do not have time to shop, the PTO can do it for you: All you need to do is select a cash donation, and we will use that money towards items needed. 

Please bring all food donations to school by 3 p.m.Tuesday, August 23, as this will allow the PTO to shop for any missing items needed. 

Please reach out to the PTO with any questions at [email protected]

Prairie PTO Mission

While we host several fundraising events, the mission of the PTO is to have events where our children can have fun and 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 donate, 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.
