21 PHS Drug Free students enjoyed the slopes of Brundage
on Saturday, March 3rd. There was lots of powder, lots of fog, and,
from what the students said, many had “lots of spills”!! We were
fortunate to have our own ski patrol with the help of Tad and Bobbi Tidwell.
Thank you both for helping out on the hill. The photos above
some of the students enjoying themselves. Photos provided by Renee Eckert.

The 7th graders who returned GEAR UP Surveys completed
by their parents had their names put in a drawing. Cedar Creek Creations
(208-935-1800), in Kamiah, Idaho donated a duffel bag with the Prairie
Pirate logo embroidered on it as one of our prizes. We also had a
chicken-shaped flash drive as a prize. Mykaela McWilliams won the
duffel bag and Ally Hale won the flash drive. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness
and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a federal grant program that
the Cottonwood School District 242 is participating in. The goal
of GEAR UP is to create an environment that emphasizes the importance of
getting students to make strong and lasting investments in their educational
future.
The GEAR UP Program at Prairie Junior/Senior High
School is in its second cycle of grant funding. GEAR UP 2 will benefit
this year’s 7th graders and next year will also benefit this year’s 6th
graders. We will follow these two grades for the next 7 years and
offer them benefits to help them excel in school and learn about how to
be college and career-ready after high school graduation. GEAR UP Idaho
