You will find some information in your child's Monday folder today about a new program that third grade is sponsoring called Cool the Earth. It is a program where the kids will take an initiative towards helping the earth. The students will come home with a coupon book. They only need to complete a task one time to bring the coupon in. The pledge is for them to try to continue it, but not anything they will need to keep track of.
Also, Prairie Ridge is having their annual food drive to help support the Johnson County Christmas Bureau.
Here is the list of items we are collecting:
Monday- Pasta
Tuesday- Canned Food
Wednesday- Boxed or Bagged Cereal
Thursday- PB&J
Friday- Cake or Brownie mixes
(please do not send in any glass jars)
