2016 Snowball Project
a Huge Success!
Our Prairie families and staff really stepped up and are providing Operation Breakthrough families with a holiday to remember. Thank you so much to everyone that participated. Your generosity is extraordinary! Together, we collected close to 200 gifts and meal donations, plus 60 rolls of wrapping paper! Amazing.
Special thanksto the 6th grade leadership community outreach committee that took charge and gave so much of themselves, the 6th grade teachers for giving them time out of class to run the show, plus Seretha Fisher and Ellen Schulte in the office and Lori O'Neal in the library for letting the overwhelming amount of gifts invade their spaces.
