Happy 100th Day of School!! Students in Cindy Schumacher's
class are 100 days older, smarter and taller. They have been first graders
for 100 days! They have read hundreds of books, shared hundreds of laughs
and enjoyed being classmates for 100 days. On Friday, February 3rd, the
first graders focused on the number 100 throughout the day. They made 100
Day Crowns, necklaces from 100 fruitloops, and a "snake" that was 100 cubes
long. They found out what it means to be quiet for 100 seconds. They bounced
balls 100 times and wrote their names in 100 squares. They all enjoyed
celebrating their 100th day of school!

Artist Bill Campbell from Orofino handmade Prairie
Middle School's new school sign. With the help of the Prairie
Booster Club and PMS pop monies, Prairie Middle School was able to purchase
the sign made by Bill Campbell. “The sign will be placed outside
as soon as the ground work to hold the sign can be built,” Principal Rene’
Forsmann said. “Bill Campbell is the artist of the sign in front
of Prairie Elementary School also, and this sign will be set up like that
one.” The sign is made out of redwood. It is a beautiful addition
to PMS.

On January 26th, the Youth for Justice Team of
Prairie Middle School transformed the cafeteria into a Chinese Café.
To honor the Year of the Dog, the tables were draped in yellow and red
tablecloths and black Chinese symbols of peace, love, harmony and friendship
became the centerpieces. Placemats from The Hong Fa restaurant finished
off the tables. The students choose a fortune cookie which told them
their “new seating assignment”. There they sat among new friends
sharing information (from the placemats) about the year they were born.
The Youth for Justice Team is encouraging the students to meet new people
and learn more about their classmates. The students and staff would
like to thank the team for making our school a better place---- Together
we can all make a difference.
