Wanted: Yearbook Photos
Please send your photos to [email protected] for consideration in the 2023-24 yearbook. We greatly appreciate the photos, and try to use as many as we can.
Here are some guidelines to follow when sending in photos.
What we CAN use and LOVE to see:
- Photos of Prairie students at school
- Photos of students with teachers or other staff members
- The more the merrier: The more Prairie students in a photo, the better for the yearbook.

- If you volunteer at the school (special lunch, dessert day, school store, mystery reader or classroom parties, for instance) and snap some photos, please send them our way!
What we CAN NOT use:
- Photos with parents or any other non Prairie students (including siblings not at 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 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!
