Thank you!!!

Thank you for your unwavering trust, care, and kindness throughout this school year.  We are blessed to serve such a truly outstanding community!

As was shared in our letter to students, the end of anything is a wonderful time for reflection.  As we begin to reflect upon and continue to learn from this school year, we want to extend a sincere and significant thank you to YOU - our families.  Without you, none of what we do would be possible.  Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift every single day.  Thank you for entrusting us to help your children learn and grow into thoughtful, compassionate, and caring young people.  Thank you for helping to build a sense of community that extends beyond the walls of any building, connecting us together in profound and meaningful ways.  Thank you for never settling on what school is, and what it can be.  Thank you for striving, encouraging, and supporting us to reach new heights.  Thank you for keeping the needs of kids first, front, and center.  We look forward to continuing to do this important work together.

End-of-year festivities

 

From Great America to graduation, pep rallies, pair-ups, picnics, and Field Day it was an action-packed and memorable end to the 2023-24 school year.  Thank you to our kids, staff, families, and community for making it so special!

Athletic Awesomeness!

Congratulations to our girls soccer team and 7th grade boys volleyball team on a pair of sensational seasons.  Each team dominated the playoffs and earned their way to two second place finishes!  An all around outstanding team effort!  Go Panthers!!!

6th grade to White Pines

 

After a three year hiatus we are thrilled to welcome our sixth grade students back to the White Pines Ranch and outdoor team building experience.

DEAR Week

 We are only half way done, but it has been a fabulous week of reading!  Thank you to Mrs. Mehr and our teacher team for planning a week chock-full of pair-ups, dress-ups, and reading fun!  So many "novel" ideas!

Dads and Donuts

 

Thank you to our East Prairie Dads Group and the PTA for sponsoring a fabulous first "Dads and Donuts" family event.  The opportunity to come together, connect, and have some fun brought together lots of dads, kids, families, and community members for a sensational Saturday morning.  

Donuts were enjoyed and coffee consumed as paper airplanes soared through the atrium and all manner of games were played in the gym.  Not to mention, we collected and organized tons of clothing for our Panther Pantry (grand reopening in new location coming soon). 

What a wonderful way to bring folks together and build new partnerships!

We got this!

 We tested our strength and endurance as we rocked the IAR test!  Our students surely soared to success (like they do each and every day)!

Thank you to our 5th graders for adding their spirited and inspirational messages to our front circle as we wrap-up the week!
