From the Principal Kristen Jones
What an AMAZING Community!
I want to express my appreciation for our wonderful PTA, families and staff who are determined to make each experience unforgettable for our Prairie Panthers!
Parent-Teacher Conferences Thurs & Fri
NED Assembly Thurs. 10/20
- Never give up — understand The Power of YET
- Encourage others — spark courage in other people
- Do your best® — always be learning and growing
Do you want to learn to yo? A yo-yo is both a mindset tool and a tangible reminder of NED's message. While learning to yo, children will make mistakes, try again and improve.
Our school received this assembly at no-cost because another school paid-it-forward to us. We want to help pay-it-forward too, and you can help by purchasing a NED-messaged yo-yo.
Yo-yos will go on sale the week of Oct. 24-28 in the gym during arrival. Details will be sent out closer to the date!
Red Ribbon Week: 10/24-10/28
