The first full week of school is upon us, and we're all looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. 

Thank you to all the volunteers who staffed the ice cream social and to our Prairie families for taking the time to visit. For those unable to attend, we encourage you to visit your My School Anywhere account for volunteer opportunities. You can also pay fees/make payments online anytime here.

You can sign up for the Prairie 5K here .

Everything you need to know comes out in the weekly PTA eNewsletter. Or on Facebook. Or Twitter. Your choice. But make sure you're on the list.

So what is the PTA about, you might ask?

Events...lots of events, and clubs and books

and a garden too.  Your calendar will be full of fun!  And you can frolic in the garden anytime!

Volunteering...s erve on a committee, pop into a classroom. Look for SignUp Geniuses. Probably lots of them.  Go ahead!! Sign up! Otherwise we will nag. It does take a Village.

A little fundraising, well, maybe more like a LOT of fundraising.  Auctions, and 5Ks, and Trash Bags, and Book Fairs, Oh My! Pick the ones that interest you! Or do them all! We won't judge. We'll actually really appreciate you!

And being a part of a fantastic community...a nd the super cute kids.  They are all adorable. It's all about the kids, right?

But, if you DO like meetings, there's a general meeting in the fall and a mini-meeting in the winter.  You can get all your info then.

Remember, you can always reach out to us. Anytime. We love that! A nd, if you want to be super-duper involved, drop us a line at prairieelementary@gmail.com.  Let us know your talents and we'll find a spot for you.

Plus, signing up for the PTA is the only way to get the Prairie School Directory App .  It's included with membership. Enough said?  Click to join.  You won't regret it! And you can also buy a yearbook ! Or a t-shirt!
