Help Us Polish Up the Garden
Our 150th Anniversary celebration will be here before we know it and we have lots of work to do to get our garden ready.
Join us for Garden Work Days, every Tuesday after school. Or, if it works better for you to stop in as your schedule allows, click here
for a list of tasks that need to be tackled. It's a great way to unwind after school and get the kids some activity with friends.
We've scheduled Saturday, April 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as an official Garden Clean-up Day for some of the larger projects. Join us for an hour or the whole day and help us get the garden in tip top shape.
Prairie's garden is a treasure that many schools don't have - if we all pitch in to help we can preserve this outdoor classroom for our students now and for years to come.

In the 1890s, students played basketball, softball and English-style football. "Shinny" was a type of field hockey played with sticks and a can, and "Annie-Over" was a team game in which the ball was thrown over the schoolhouse roof. They also played Fox and Wolf in the snow, Drop the Handkerchief and had jump rope contests.
