students compete at Nationals
Five students from the Prairie High Technology Student Association attended the National TSA Convention in Baltimore,  Maryland
June 26 through July 2nd. Tyler Workman entered in the Promotional Graphics
event, Matt Jungert and Garrett Workman entered in the Flight Endurance
event and Garrett, Silas Whitley and DJ Walker entered in the Manufacturing
Prototype event. The students didn’t place in the top ten, but learned
a lot from the competition.
On Sunday the students, Mr. Richardson, and Rick and Laurie Workman rode the train to Washington, D. C. to look at the museums and monuments at the National Mall. Tuesday evening the students attended a Student Leadership Academy to show them ways to become good leaders. Wednesday the students and chaperones went to the Orioles baseball game along with approximately 2200 other students that attended the Leadership Academy. At the game, about ¼ of the students gathered and spelled out the letters TSA in an area of vacant bleachers. That was pretty exciting for the students. We also toured Fort McHenry, the National Aquarium, and other sites along the Inner Harbor at Baltimore. There were approximately 4400 students from the US and Germany. Thanks to all who purchased raffle tickets to offset expenses. Band practices set The Prairie H.S. Band will make their traditional appearance in the Idaho County Fair Parade on Saturday, August 21st. A warm up practice is planned for Saturday, August 14th on the football field at Prairie Middle School. PHS Band members will be hosting a car wash at the Cottonwood Fire Department on Saturday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. A BBQ cook out will be set up at the park immediately following the car wash. Band practice will begin on the field at the middle school at 2:00 pm. and run until 3:30 p.m. Participation in the parade is open to all PHS students regardless of enrollment status for the new school year. We also invite and encourage PHS graduates home for the summer, and any adults in the community who play an instrument to join us in the parade this year.
