Happy Thanksgiving

We have been lucky to have had a visit from Kimberly Thompson who is an author and storyteller of children’s books. In addition to being an author she is an excellent storyteller. She has her Masters of Arts in Curriculum Instruction and Design from Concordia University and still has many friends in the area.
Ms. Thompson made three grade-level presentations
at Prairieview Elementary School on Friday, November 19, 2010. She read her book Toulouse on the Loose, which is a the tale of a French turkey, Toulouse, who travels to Washington DC at Thanksgiving time and discovers why everyone has turkey on their minds. The students still have a chance to order her book and have it autographed and personalized.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and enjoy the time together, Mrs. Schultz

Paper Recycling Fundraiser Comes to Prairieview

We are happy to announce we will be raising money for our district by recycling paper! And you can help us out, too! Please collect any paper you are going to throw away or recycle (office and school paper, newspaper, magazines, catalogs and construction paper---no cardboard, no phone books) send it in with your child to school or drop it off at the Green and Yellow Paper Retriever Bin in the Lakeview parking lot (near the fence by the Prairieview playground). This bin is available for drop offs 24/7 and the more paper we recycle, the more money we make!

Please help our schools AND the environment!

Have a great weekend, Principal Schultz

PBIS at Prairieview

What an exciting day Prairieview had on Monday as we celebrated our PBIS recognition day.

Our very own Prairieview Cheer Club led the audience in a cheer centered around the three core expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe at Prairieview School. This cheer was created and choreographed by the students in the Cheer Club and really helped everyone get into the spirit of things!

Corporal Urso and Officer Stejskal from the DuPage County Sheriff's Department and Officer Skweres from the Darien Police Department presented Prairieview School with a special award. This award was in recognition of our work with PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports). The officers explained how being respectful, responsible and safe at school leads to making good choices when out in the community.

They also thanked us for our efforts in shaping our students since they are our future community citizens and leaders. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and stays warm. Principal Schultz
