Two Mile Tidbits

Last week, I shared some suggestions/prompts to ask your child about his/her school day. This week, try asking him/her "how have you demonstrated being Prairie PROUD this week?" (persevere, respectful, open-minded, uplifting, dependable).

If you want some cool TMP swag, don't forget to order from the PTA spirit store. The link is below and the last day to order has been extended to the 15th!

Friendly reminder there is no school on the 13th!

Have a great weekend!

Prairie Proud,

Amanda Ruyle

• We need YOU on the PTA!

The class with the highest percentage of PTA memberships by September 30th will win a pizza party…who doesn’t love pizza?

If you’re wondering what the PTA does, read our attached letter for more info.

• We decided to extend the close date for our Spirit Store to next Friday 09/15. This is to allow everyone a little extra time to get their orders in.

• PTA Meeting on 11th at 5:30 in Media Center

• Our next Dine to Donate night will be September 14th at Las Margaritas. This applies at the Lake of The Woods location ONLY and will be from 4:00pm - Close. Our school will receive 20% of all orders so this is a BIG ONE!

If you don’t feel like dining in, gift cards DO COUNT! Hmmm…who needs gift cards for birthdays or holidays! Maybe we will all be ahead on shopping this year?

As we dive in to our school year, Here are some helpful prompts to ask your child about his/her school day besides "how was school today?"

• Tell me about a moment today when you felt excited about what you were learning.
• Think about what you learned and did in school today. What’s something you’d like to know more about?
• What’s a question you have that came from your learning today?
• Were there any moments today when you felt proud of yourself?
  
• Tell me about a conversation you had with a classmate or friend that you enjoyed.
• What was challenging about your day?
• What do you appreciate about your day?
• What did you learn about yourself today?
• Is there anything that you’d like to talk about that I might be able to help you figure out?
• What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

If you would like to learn more about your child's school day, we also have our Prairie Dog Pride Night (open house/curriculum night) on September 19th from 5-6:30pm. More info to come!
