Grand prize winners of the Chronicle's annual Christmas Coloring Contest are shown. From left are Sierra Wright, 5 and under winner; Jade Fischer, 6-8 year old winner and Mikayla Riener, 9-12 year old winner. See story at left for a full list of the top winners for each business participating.

Students of the month at Prairie High School are Jalisa Wright and Kyler Shumway. Jalisa is an outstanding student because she is responsible and has a positive attitude.  This year she made some big improvements to be a good student.  Mainly, she makes it a point to understand her work and has a better attendance record.  Her actions have also had a positive influence on those around her.  Jalisa is a good student and pleasure to have in a class. It is nice to have a student who is self-motivated like Kyler .  I can always count on Kyler for completed assignments, attentiveness, and a smile.  Although, that’s not what really makes him an outstanding student.  Kyler learns new concepts and is able to apply past ideas tying it all together.  He has a bright future with his ability and great attitude combined.

Abigail Lustig, in the commercial design class, finished a sign for Angie’s Crafts and Supplies. This is a big achievement for Abbi when looking at the fact that she has not done very much painting in the past and she did a meticulous and detailed job for a big project like this. Abbi stated that she learned a lot during this time. There was a lot to painting that people don’t realize until they have to do it on their own. This whole project took Abbi a total of about eight weeks. Abbi did a great job on this sign and a thank you goes out to her and all her hard work.  (Caption written by Alena Hoene of PHS)
