Eagles Exclamation
October 30, 2022
Dear Families,
As we begin the second quarter, I want to acknowledge some of the wonderful things that have been occurring at Prairie View. Staff and students have been engaged in the classroom, working diligently each day. We are proud of our athletes who have had great seasons: the Boy's Softball team earned 1st place and the Girl’s Softball team placed 2nd.. A number of the Cross Country runners placed in their conference as well. Also, we have had great participation in our clubs and after-school activities. Last Friday night, NJHS and Student Council hosted a dance for over 300 students! We are looking forward to the second quarter, starting with Monday being the first time our Middle School students will wear costumes to school.
Thank you for sending us such great students :)
Best Regards,
Ms. Baskovich
