This Week's Calendar
Ask Your Pioneer....What did you learn during Red Ribbon Week about living a healthy lifestyle?
The "Live it Healthy" Dance Party... to Crazy Hair Day... to Red Ribbons all around the school.
All of this is to bring awareness to the importance of living a life that is mindful of your health and staying away from harmful substances.
Special thanks to Prisk Parents, Mariela Torres & Jenny Anderson for being our Red Ribbon Week Coordinators!
Thank you to all of the parents, families, community members and businesses, the PTA, staff, students, and volunteers who made Pumpkin Palooza an amazing event!
To all who donated time or resources to the event,
we are so grateful for you and the spectacular evening you created for our Prisk families!
A very special thanks to our Co-Chairs, Amy Brust & Amber Huizar!

Rocket Run Kickoff Assembly
The big fundraiser for the Prisk Foundation is the Rocket Run which will take place on November 16th.
To get the students excited about this fundraiser, Prisk parents joined together to make an amazing kick-off assembly where we "rocked out" to all of our teachers' favorite songs and even had a visit from Principal Elvis Priskly! A special thank you to our Prisk Foundation Team Leader, Shannon Cabrera for all of her hard work and dedication to this endeavor! Also, a big thank you to Melanie Gerner who took on the task of being the Emcee for the event! And one more thanks to all of the parents who came to rock out with us and kept the assembly groovin'!
