On Friday, we held our annual Field Day events, which included the Kona Ice Truck & our Panther Picnic with Shadow. Thank you to the dozens of parent volunteers who made this event possible, and to Mrs. Cushing for putting all the planning into the day. Students from our SASED classroom joined us as well. Thank you to Mrs. Mandru's class for showing so much kindness by including them. Lydia, Diar, and Scarlett made personal efforts to be inclusive. Thanks to Evie, a 3rd grader who cleaned up so much trash left behind before starting her own picnic! And finally, to Team 66 for providing the Kona Ice truck. Much needed on this warm day! Special shout-out to 5th graders Zadie, Nora, Eliana, and Elsie for serving as our honorary mascot, Shadow!
Yesterday, author Amy Logan, author of "A Girl With a Cape," visited our Panthers to provide presentations to each of our grade levels. She delivered a powerful message that each of us matters, and that we could change the world with Kindness. Additionally, the Indian Prairie Public Library visited to share information about their summer reading program. Thank you, Mrs. Csorba, for organizing and coordinating all of this. Your love for literacy is contagious!

Yesterday I had the privilege of welcoming Grant and Evie as our Principal and Assistant Principal of the day. While I do not do this often, Grant didn't have the good luck of winning our Team 66 Super Raffle, but went to great efforts to raise money to help improve our school. It's exactly this kind of self-direction and giving your best that makes our school so special. He chose Evie as his "assistant principal" because of how kind she is to all students. We visited classrooms, lunch and recess, then enjoyed some pizza together. Thanks, Grant and Evie, for caring so much about our school!!
Each year, Principals around Dupage County gather to celebrate some of our students at the annual IPA Recognition Breakfast. Two students from each school are recognized based on the following criteria: show responsibility with regard to attendance and behavior; demonstrate pride, dignity, and respect in personal conduct and relations with others; act responsibly and encourage responsible actions by others; and be a positive person to know. At Prairieview, we recognize two 5th graders, and this year our winners are Colin V. and Sofia M. Thank you both - we are so proud of and grateful to your contributions to our school!
Every year around this time, the City of Darien hosts an Arbor Day event. It's attended by several area schools, the Morton Arboretum, and many other members of Darien's gardening and parks community. Our 3rd graders attend and release butterflies they have been caring for since they were in their larva stage. Thank you to the Gift of Carl Foundation for donating the butterflies and gift packets that come with them, as well as our 3rd grade team for taking the time to incorporate the "life cycle of a butterfly" into their teaching.
It has come to our attention that the time listed on some Saturday tickets may be displaying incorrectly when downloaded. Please note that the Saturday performance will begin at 6:00 PM.
The Friday performance remains at 7:00 PM as scheduled.
There is no need for concern—your tickets will still scan correctly at the event. Our main priority is making sure everyone arrives on time, so please plan accordingly using the correct show times above.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Happy Earth Day! Mrs. Spakausky's class went outside to help clean up trash. Thank you for your stewardship, 4th graders!!
Tomorrow is our Panther Progress! We are proud of the work our students are doing, and invite their VIPs to tour our school and engage in their learning with them. Doors are open from 4:00 - 7:00, and Team 66 has arranged for a few food trucks. See you tomorrow!
The front desk is the heart of our school. When new students enroll in our district, when parents call with a question, or when students need help during the day, Mrs. Whitt is the first person they see. We are grateful for her kindness and support for students. Happy Administrative Assistants day, Mrs. Whitt!!
