PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL

March 30th April 4th

To Justin Sands and Cheri Brummer. As I mentioned

on the intercom Thursday, our Ambassadors were
crowned Grand Champions in Orlando. What was
most impressive was Our Prairie Hawks giving a
standing ovation to every school that received an
award. Nobody else there did that. I asked a parent
about that and they mentioned Our Kids do that at
every event. Awesome representation of Prairie!
Thank you!!
