their Bobcat badges. Colton McElroy, Tristyn Leonard and Dallas Lindsey
were honored at the Pack meeting. Allen Lusby led the ceremony by
turning out the lights and lighting a single candle. He explained
to the boys how every time they gain knowledge they are shedding more light
on the darkness. He encouraged all the boys to continue gaining knowledge
and work hard on earning more badges. Belt loops and pins for
bowling and citizenship were handed out, along with Veterans Day and Flag
Retirement patches. Shown in the photo are, Back row from left: Ken Forsmann,

It is a tradition in much of Europe that on December
6th in the wee hours of the morning Sinter Klaas and his helpers visit
each household and fill the children’s shoes with treats. Somehow Sinter
Klaas found his way to the Prairie Elementary School this year. The
students were told there was to be a shoe inspection and they were to leave
their shoes by their locker after school December 5th. Sometime during
the evening, Sinter Klaas filled each shoe with a bag full of goodies.
Sinter Klaas carries with him a large book of children names. Good
children receive treats, not so good children receive coal. Since
all of elementary school students received treats, we know all of our students
were good this year. But we already knew that even without Sinter
Klaas’ book of lists. (Written by Lydia Deiss, photos courtesy of Rene’
Forsmann.
