EPS Mentoring

The East Prairie Mentoring Program has officially wrapped up its first full year!  We are beyond proud to have supported 40 of our third through eighth-grade students through this relationship-driven initiative, which focuses on building interpersonal skills, leadership, and overall well-being across our school community.

It has been an absolute pleasure to watch these connections flourish over the past six months.  We officially concluded the program yesterday with a celebratory final meeting featuring a lively "Keepy Uppy" team-building activity, a pizza and wing party, meaningful reflections from our mentors, and a certificate ceremony.

We truly believe that every child both thoroughly enjoyed and grew from this experience!  Thank you for partnering with us to make this inaugural year such a resounding success.

PLC Video

East Prairie is proud to be recognized as an International Model Professional Learning Community (PLC).  Each and every day that means that our educators are collaborating, analyzing data, and learning from one another to ensure your child receives the best possible instruction, alongside an abundance of care.  We’ve put together this short video to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the teamwork that makes our school so extraordinary.  Thank you for your continued partnership in making this work possible!
