🚨UPDATE! 🚨 Due to current weather conditions and the safety of our students and spectators, the homecoming parade, scheduled for September 25 at 1:45 PM has been postponed until Friday, October 9. We hope to see you all in 2 weeks!
We are so excited for tomorrow's homecoming festivities!! (And rain, rain, go away-- we already dealt with you for the schoolwide picnic! 😅)
Here is our schedule for tomorrow:
🔶 Morning Spirit Items: The PTO will be selling spirit items before school tomorrow morning. Students are welcome to bring money if they would like to purchase items to gear up for the day!
⬛ School Picture: We will be taking an all-school picture at 9:25, so be sure to be on time to school.
🔶 Homecoming Parade (1:45 PM): Parents are invited and encouraged to watch the parade with us! Our 4th graders will be on floats in the parade, and all other students will be watching. 🚨UPDATE! 🚨 Our Prairie Hill group will now be seated along the west side of Kirkwood Blvd, starting at the roundabout by Prairie Point and extending north toward the Kirkwood Hotel.
Important Note: If you plan to attend with your student, please meet our school group directly at our designated seating area along the parade route. Please be aware that portions of the College Community campus and adjacent roads will be closed beginning at 1:15 PM and remain closed until parade participants and student spectators have safely returned to their schools. If the parade is cancelled due to the weather, a notification will be sent as soon as possible.
⬛ Special Attendance Celebration (3:00 PM): Thanks to our students' incredible efforts, we recently hit our attendance goal! To celebrate, students will get the chance to throw water at Mr. Schipper and Mr. Koch at 3:00 PM back at school. Parents are invited to stay and watch this fun event. We will be on the playground if the weather permits. We encourage students to stay at school until the special celebration is done.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to a fun day of celebrating our Prairie Hill spirit!
