Did you know that there is an Amazon Rainforest right
in the town of Cottonwood? Prairie Elementary First Grader's have been
building their own rainforest in their school hallway. The students of
Cindy Schumacher and Sherry Holthaus have been working on their rainforest
for the last month. They have made three-toed sloths, parrots, toucans,
wood turtles, leaf-cutting ants, butterflies, orchids, bromeliads, tree
frogs, snakes, and monkeys. These projects are beautifully displayed with
liana vines hanging all across the ceiling with parrots, monkeys and butterflies
flying through the air. The rainforest will be up until the end of school
so if you want to enjoy a “virtual” rainforest experience, please stop
by the first grade hallway at Prairie Elementary School.

First graders from Prairie Elementary School recently
took their annual field trip to St. Mary's Hospital. The children were
able to view the operating room, the lab, x-ray, the emergency room and
the ambulance. St. Mary's employees did a wonderful job of showing the
children around the different areas and explaining what they might see
if they ever had to come to the hospital. The children were even given
a "mini-cast" on their fingers. The field trip ended with a delicious cookie
made by St. Mary's cooks. Teachers Cindy Schumacher and Sherry Holthaus
and their students would like to thank Cheri Holthaus for arranging the
tour and all of the employees for taking time out of their busy schedules
to show them around. Shown are first graders enjoy getting "casts" on their
fingers from Mrs. Goeckner and Mr. Frank.
