It is $10 for all 4 months combined.  We will sell for the Spring Semester later this year. Dessert Day will be available to purchase next week in MTK. Plaese keep an eye on our social media for more information

General Reminders:

D96 School Directory / Family Contact Info

The PTO often gets requests for contact information for your student's classmates.  This directory is NOT maintained by the PTO but can be found at the link below.  You are able to sort by teacher, grade or school.  Please note, families do have to opt in to be included in this directory.

Dessert Day and Special Lunch

Please remember, special lunch and dessert day forms do CLOSE in the days (sometimes longer depending on the vendor for Special Lunch) leading up to the event in order for the PTO to place orders.  We can not accept late orders.  

Membership toolkit

All Prairie PTO forms–including volunteer sign-up forms, PTO purchases, and volunteer opportunities–are included in the Prairie PTO Membership Toolkit.

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.
