Welcome Back To School!

On behalf of the Prairieland Staff, I'd like to welcome all of our families to the 2009-10 school year. Summer has flown by (as it always does) and we are excited to see the kiddos on Wednesday morning! Here are a couple of reminders for the start of school:
  • Wednesday, Aug. 19 is a 1/2 day for 1st -5th graders. School will be from 8:30 - 11:30.
  • Thursday, Aug. 20 will be our first full day with our NEW school hours of 8:30 - 3:15.
  • Movie Night will be Saturday, Aug. 22. We will start the movie at dusk, behind the school, weather permitting. If it rains, we will move into the gym.

I was sad to hear that you are having an "ice cream/treat party for the kids returning 5 or more magazine slips for the PIECE fundraiser. I know that it is meant to be a good incentive for the students, but I believe that it should be a "team" incentive. There are some students whose parents cannot afford or may choose not to participate, and I believe that this penalizes the child for this. How about setting a goal and giving the whole school an award if they meet it. I think that the individual prizes are o.k. because I think that they can be given to the winning students discreetly by the classroom teacher. I appreciate all the time the PIECE chairman put into this and think they do a fantastic job, but I just wanted to make this suggestion.
