Students of the month for December at Prairie High
School are Carolyn Sonnen, left, honor student, and Christa Wilson, middle,
and Kayla Lorentz, outstanding students. Carolyn always turns in
her work on time and she consistently gets the top grade on tests. She
seems to like academics and she works hard to understand the content of
the lesson. With her great critical thinking skills, Carolyn would probably
make a good lawyer. Kayla and Christa were nominated for outstanding students
because of their help and participation with the junior class fundraiser.
These two young ladies sold several books of tickets, offering to go downtown
and sell, and then from door-to-door on Halloween. Between the two of them,
they sold 380 tickets. They have also volunteered to help out in other
clubs as well. Their enthusiasm to help out others and support the
groups in which they participate needs to be recognized.

Ben Schumacher is holding one of six quick grip clamps
that his parents, John and Sue, purchased for the Industrial Technology
program at Prairie High. John is a former student from the program and
wanted to show his appreciation for the knowledge he gained and is now
using. Donations like this definitely help the program and are greatly
appreciated when our funds are so tight. Thank you to John and Sue for
their contribution.
