Today the Lions Club of Darien came for their annual dictionary delivery! Thanks to Dr Wise for helping facilitate this fun annual tradition!



Veterans Day is a special one at Prairieview. It's not every day that we get the opportunity to celebrate and learn from so many American heroes. Thank you to the 23 Veterans who took the time to visit our school today for this celebration. Also, thank you to Ms. Lindsey and her choir for the incredible performance. Four 5th-grade students - Lydia, Scarlette, Fiona, & Mostafa - wrote and shared very special speeches on "What a Veteran Means to Me." Thank you all for a great day, and to all Veterans for their service!



Friendly reminder - no school today due to a scheduled teacher institute day. Our teachers and staff are working hard to improve our school today!

This week, our 4th-grade teachers took their students to "learn in the field" as guest scientists at Fermilab! This program focuses on forces and energy, and utilizes hands-on learning to engage our students in science. Thank you to our parent volunteers, but also to the 4th-grade teachers, as this trip required training on their part. Their dedication to student engagement and hands-on learning is vital to growing our students!





PV teachers doing their part to end this 6-7 trend! 🫡 Happy Halloween!! 👻🎃

As we started our school year, a few of our 4th graders wanted to help coach their classmates on more respectful behavior. I'm proud of the courage & leadership that these Panthers have demonstrated with their presentations! Great job, Everly, Mackenzie, Maggie, Amayah, & Sofia!!

Alyssa W pulled off the rare "double yellow" - two positive referrals in one day!! As a member of our Student Leadership Team, I'm so proud of her example!!
