The PTO is selling coupon books this year to help fund the purchase of tablets for our students. If you wish to purchase a book, please send in $25 made payable to the Prairieview PTO. If you do not wish to buy the book, please send it back with your student. The deadline is October 29th. The books have some great local coupons in them and really pay for themselves while the school gets half the money of all books sold! The grade that sells the most books (15 books minimum) will get a movie and a treat on Tuesday, November 26th and each grade level student who sells the most books (5 book minimum) will get a $100 Target gift card!

There are some great holiday shopping discounts available....take a look!!!!
Homeroom Happenings:
Spelling - The children will take a pretest on Monday. If your child misses one of less, they will be a challenge speller for the week. They will need to complete a practice sheet and 3 activities. If your child misses more than two words, they will be a regular speller. They will complete a practice sheet and workbook pages. The tests will be on Friday.
