Field Trip News:
All students in our class will need to bring a "nut-free" lunch and drink on Monday, May 10th. We will be eating an early lunch in the classroom before we go to the Robert Crown Center. Students may want to bring a second snack for when we return in the afternoon.
Donations:
All this week Prairieview is collecting gym shoes in any shape and all other shoes that still have some life in them. We want to help cut down on the amount going into landfills. The shoes will be either donated to places that help people or will be sent to Nike's recycling center where they recycle gym shoes into a variety of objects including floor mats. Please tie the shoes together or put them in plastic grocery bags so that they do not become separated. Thank you for your support. At Prairieview School-Character Counts!
