Latest News

Recently, Prairie Wind Elementary held a very successful "Reading Under the Stars" literacy night. They turned the gym into a cozy campsite with glowing paper stars. Students and their families brought blankets and flashlights to read together. This created a strong sense of community and a love of reading. Students are actively involved in the process, learning about nutrition, the life cycles of plants, and how to be more environmentally friendly. The fruits and vegetables that are picked will be given to a nearby community center, which will teach kids the importance of giving back. The art department is also very busy getting ready for a big spring art show. Students are trying out different art forms, like ceramics and digital art, to make pieces that are inspired by the landscapes of Wyoming.
