Today is substitute teacher appreciation day!
Our substitute teachers play a critically important role in our district and do a wonderful job helping us when we are most in need. Give a big shout out to our awesome substitute teachers and thank them for all they do!

We had a wonderful opportunity yesterday for a few of our PDNN news crew anchors. We were invited to go to KLPW and be on their morning show talking about Prairie Dell and all of the wonderful things that we are doing for kids! We had three 5th graders that were able to go and talk on the radio!
