Welcome to the Prairie Point Panther Press!
Great Kindness Challenge
Hello Parents/Guardians,
Our school is participating in the Nationally Celebrated Great Kindness Challenge from January 25-29, 2016! Our Student Leadership Group is proudly promoting this wonderful show of kindness, and it is a community Character Counts initiative as well! Each child will receive a checklist of 50 things they can do to spread kindness that week and if they complete all 50 they will have the opportunity to put their handprint on a schoolwide canvas kindness banner. Please see the attached flyers for more information and the fun plans for our Kindness Spirit Week!!
Kindness Stations
Children are invited to come to the Community Room on Tuesday and Thursday of next week between 8:15-8:45 to make cards, letters, notes, and draw pictures for their Great Kindness Challenge checklist! We will have tables set up with materials needed and Student Leadership will be available to assist kids with their list.

P.E. Reminder
Dear Parents,
The P.E. Department would like to remind you to provide your child with a pair of gym shoes to be left at school. Now that winter is upon us, many students have missed P.E. due to having boots. It's also helpful if all students are able to tie their shoes. THANK YOU!
