Donations Appreciated!
Dear Prisk Families,
The nurse's office is in need of boys and girls undergarments (sizes 3T-9) to benefit students that may have accidents at school.
Donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Can We Play?????
I'd like to clarify some information about recess games, equipment, rules, etc.
The graphic below is a good way to summarize the school's response whenever students ask, "Can we play..."?
If you take a few minutes to talk with your children about this, they will hear the same information at home that they do at school.

School Zone Speed Limit
Just a reminder to be overly mindful and take your time when driving near the school.
There are many children (and their families) crossing the street who are hard to see because of parked cars and other surroundings which can block the view of a driver and block the view of a pedestrian.
So, please be patient and drive slowly to keep all of our families and friends safe!

And Now....All things Rocket Run....
Thank you to the families that have already begun supporting Prisk's largest fundraiser. Donations earned from this fundraiser greatly help support our Prisk STEAM program.
The kids are incredibly close to earning their school-wide incentive, HULA HOOPIN' WITH COACH COHEN. So far as a school, (at the time of print), we have earned $19,265. When we hit $20,000, students will earn HULA HOOPIN' this FRIDAY, NOV. 25th!!! We've got this!!!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET REGISTERED
If you have not yet registered, please help our school today by using this link. https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/register?school_uuid=5d8cc225ec534
Families that wish to participate by collecting cash, teachers were given a stack of envelopes to be given out upon request or you will find some in the cubbies in the hall across from the office.
If your child would like to earn prizes as they go, this envelope must be turned into the office each THURSDAY morning by 9 am. Our volunteers must put all cash donations into the system by 9:30 am on THURSDAY in order for students to receive prizes at our Friday distribution.
ALL ABOUT INCENTIVES
Individual incentives for lanyards, pendants and golf or jump passes will be distributed to teachers every FRIDAY morning. We recommend that students wear their lanyards on FRIDAYS so that they can add any new pendants they may earn for that week.
The Traveling Trophy Goes To...
