Welcome to the Prairie Point Panther Press!
Principal's Letter
Dear Prairie Point Families:
What an awesome day today! We celebrated our annual Panther Fitness Challenge with all of our students. This was an opportunity for students to be outside, to be active and to have fun. We were so lucky to have Mrs. Warren as a special guest during the PFC. Mrs. Warren and our awesome volunteers led our students through an obstacle course, up and down the giant hill, through a few interactive games and around the PFC course! We are thrilled to announce that our AMAZING families and sponsors raised $21,477.18! This event is the largest fundraiser for Prairie Point Elementary School. All of the money that is raised during the Panther Fitness Challenge goes directly back to our classroom in teacher grants and other student supplies, activities and resources. We are very grateful for the generosity and support of our school community. I would also like to recognize the outstanding work and leadership of our Home and School, especially our co-presidents Katie Lund and Beth Kremer. Their hard work and dedication made this event extremely successful!
Finally, I would like to follow up on the updates that I provided last week from our health service department. Nurse Dominique will be on leave through the month of October. We will continue to have a substitute nurse at Prairie Point, however, it may not be the same nurse each day. In order to ensure that all health related questions and emails are received, please continue to send them directly to me at jgroves@sd308.org. I will forward your email to the nurse who is subbing on that day so that the nurse can follow up with you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jennifer Groves
Principal
