Better World Day is coming! On May 1 Palouse Prairie Students will be planting native and water-wise shrubs and ornamentals at our new location. Students K-5 will be planting during their regularly scheduled PE times. Middle school students will be working during the afternoon. Families are encouraged to participate! If you have shovels or hand tools we can borrow, please bring them to the school before May 1 (be sure to label all items with your name). Stay tuned for more class-specific information through Bloomz.
Pennies for Plants and Plants for Pennies! The K-2 Crew and the Palouse Prairie Primary Landscape Committee are raising funds to help create a beautiful green space for all to enjoy at our new location. A can labeled “Pennies for Plants” is in the office to put your spare coins in. We are also collecting plants. You can donate plants and seeds for us to plant at our school. Any extra plants will be sold or donated at an end of year plant sale to raise funds for future landscape projects. You may drop coins and plants off at PPCS or email ksorenson@palouseprairieschool.org for donation pickups or more information.
Please Help us Spread the Word about our amazing opportunity for high-quality flooring in our new multipurpose room. Ecore Bounce 2 flooring is cushioned to protect students from injury and sound absorbent to keep lunchroom and PE noise levels down. Thank you to families who have reached out to friends and family and shared our Facebook and Instagram posts. We’re over halfway towards our $11,500 goal! Please share this link and ask folks to note their donation is for flooring: https://palouseprairieschool.org/donate/. You can share this letter from our director for more information.
We’re more than halfway to another goal – Thirteen families have signed up to do small family fundraisers. Our goal is 25 fundraisers between now and the first day of school Fall 2019. Some families are working with local businesses, others are offering up their skills, and others are using social media to fundraise. If you have a fundraising idea or would like to hear ideas, please contact the office at office@palouseprairieschool.org. We are happy to help in any way we can and have resources and materials to help. Thanks to all who are contributing funds, time and energy to make our dream of a new school a reality!
