Thankful for Prairieland Parents!

As last week's Staff Appreciation concluded, I took a step back to reflect on just how much our Prairieland Parents do for our students and staff. The first thing that came to my mind was, "Wow"!

After a very successful carnival this year, in a new venue – outside rather than inside, our parent volunteers moved right into a busy week of "Staff Appreciation.” Most days last week, it seemed like there were more volunteers at school than staff! It was fun seeing all of the people so willing to help out in any way possible – dropping off treats or supplies, serving food, setting up for events - you name it!

Equally impressive was the creativity and planning that went into both the carnival and Staff Appreciation Week. The movie theme was a great idea and the attention to details by the parent volunteers each day made the events all the more special.

As a result, I’d like to send out a big “Thank You” to all Prairieland Parents who make our staff feel so appreciated! You make it A Great Day to be a Cougar!
