It's been an incredible year of memories. We learned about how Prairie was the first school to have a nurse on staff and that our beloved school was the inspiration for the Prairie Village we know today.
Our students had a chance to sample what life was
like in the 1800s, even getting an opportunity to experience a One-Room Schoolhouse and
walk to school as so many children have done before them.
We welcomed
past students and teachers through our doors once again to pay homage to the past and toast the future. Our
Fair was the perfect punctuation mark for a year of celebrating 150 years of tradition and community (e
vent photos have been posted here).
There are far too many people to thank in one newsletter entry, but here are many of the parents who worked tirelessly to help us honor our 150th year:
