The First Week

If you haven't heard by now we had a winner at Prairieview Elementary School. This year the Metra Railroad Safety Awareness Program invited students in the six-county region to submit poster designs displaying important railroad safety messages. They received over 3,000 entries from hundreds of schools and the winner received a laptop computer for first place.

William Burne a fourth grade student at that time received the honorable first place award. Congratulations to both his art teacher, Miss Smeltzer, and Bill for such a wonderful job.

I would also like to thank all the parents for making our first week of school such a wonderful experience. Everyone came in with a smile and was ready to work. A special thanks to our PTO for all they did to help our teachers smile this week, they are truly a wonderful group.

Remember to order Market Day which is a big help to our fundraising.

Have a great weekend and stay dry. Mrs. Schultz

Welcome Home

I would like to take the opportunity to welcome all our new 3rd grade students and welcome back our 4th and 5th grade students. Truly this is my favorite time of year. Some see this time as a closure to the seasons however, I see this as a chance for a fresh beginning. We are all starting with a clean slate only to improve on where we have been and start anew on where we want to be. I am looking forward to a great school year and getting to know each of our students. Have a great week and enjoy our open house on Monday the 24th from 9:00 till 11:00.
