Prairie Preschool Event, Wednesday 1/20

Get your preschooler acquainted with Prairie! Join us next Wednesday, 1/20 from 8:30-9:15 for a Music-themed Preschool activity in the library.

Also, if you have an incoming Kindergartener, be sure to register with Seretha in the office to get on the mailing list for information.

The Art Committee needs your help

Mrs. Papineau relies on parent volunteers to scan artwork for Artsonia and hang displays around the school. Ideally, volunteers should be able to spend one hour a week for this role.

If you can spare one hour a week, or every other week we'd gladly accept your help! And Mrs. Papineau would be so grateful for the extra hands. 

Please contact  Michelle Cunningham if you'd like to help.

Rehearsal begins next Friday, 1/22 from 5:00-9:00

If your student is planning to participate in the Variety Show, please email their act to   Meghan Black , and she will email you your rehearsal time.

Important upcoming dates:
  • First Rehearsal: Friday, 1/22 - 5:00-9:00 p.m.
  • Dress Rehearsal: Friday 1/29 - 5:00-9:00 p.m.
  • Variety Show: Saturday, 2/6 - 3:00-6:00 p.m.
