Prairie Point

Check out some photos of various activities at Point today as we celebrated a successful school year with learners and staff.

Congratulations to our 7th & 8th Grade May Golden Hawk award winners! These students were given this award by their teacher team for exemplifying the qualities of a Golden Hawk (our Habits of Success)... Respect, Responsibility, and Persistence!

On May 15, 2026, Prairie Point Middle School proudly partnered with Workplace Learning Connection to host the 2026 Financial Literacy Fair, providing students with a hands-on opportunity to explore real-world financial decision-making and career planning.

During the event, students selected a career pathway and calculated a monthly budget based on their projected income. As they moved through a variety of interactive booths, students learned important financial concepts including insurance, student loans, housing costs, utilities, transportation, savings, and other everyday expenses. Each stop challenged students to make thoughtful financial decisions while tracking their monthly spending.

At the conclusion of the fair, students calculated their remaining monthly balance and met one-on-one with financial advisors to review their budget sheets, reflect on their choices, and discuss what they learned from the experience. The event helped students gain a deeper understanding of the importance of budgeting, financial responsibility, and long-term planning.

Prairie Point students did an outstanding job representing their school through their engagement, professionalism, and positive attitudes throughout the event.

Prairie Point Middle School would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the volunteers, community partners, and staff members who helped make this meaningful learning experience possible for our students. Finally, kudos to counselor, Mr. Ball, for organizing this event!

Our 7th graders are enjoying their Camp experience today! What a tremendous experience for our students to do activities they may not normally be able to do. Thank you to our staff who volunteer to organize this 7th grade event and provide this experience for our students each year.

Announcing Prairie Points 2026 Quota Honors recipients:

Making good choices

This year the Hawk team was in charge of choosing students. Selected students, their families, and Hawk team lead Mr. Dobler attended the Quota Honors banquet on Friday, April 24th.

Prairie Point staff took on the “cup stacking challenge” using only strings and rubber bands to build a pyramid. 🏆

A fun way to strengthen teamwork, communication, and problem-solving… because the same skills we practice together are the ones we bring to our students every day!

In Mrs. Winder's class, 7th graders are currently in their "Mini Medical School" unit. Erica & Kolby, our expert visitors from UnityPoint and Sim-IA (Simulation in Motion-Iowa) came to provide students with hands-only CPR instruction! Students learned the in's and out's of emergency medicine, how to provide life-saving chest compressions, and what to do in emergency situations. Thank you Erica & Kolby!
