School Board Member Spotlight: Meet Klay Holliday
I am married to Mickayla Holliday and we have two kids, my 3 year old son Sawyer, and my 1 year old daughter Callie. I farm with my dad and two brothers. We do rowcrops, have cattle, and currently raise turkeys. I wanted to join the school board to make sure that we are putting the kids first and focusing on their education. This is my third year as a board member.
Thanks Klay

School Board Member Spotlight: Meet Nathan Alpers
I was born and raised in Prairie Home. We live and farm in Prairie Home where we raise crops, cattle and kids. I am married to Meagan, and we have three children. I enjoy coaching, showing cattle, camping, and hunting/fishing with my family.
I wanted to become a board member to ensure that our children and the children of the community have the best education that we can give them to help ready them for the future ahead.
I have set on many boards and thought that my experiences would help the school. I am truly proud of the staff and administration that we have.
I have been on the board for 6 years and am currently serving my third year as vice-president.
Thanks Nathan!

School Board Member Spotlight: Meet Sandra Waibel
School board members serve as a voice for the community, advocating for interest and needs of our students, educators and parents. It is a rewarding experience being able to help make a positive impact on our community and the well-being of the students in our district. I am currently serving my 2nd term as the Prairie Home School Board Treasure. With two middle schoolers involved in sports, 4H, and church, my free time is spent as a part-time chauffeur and full-time supporter of their passions! My evenings are usually a whirlwind, but I always try to squeeze in a 30-minute weightlifting routine for myself.
Thank you Sandra !

School Board Member Spotlight
Welcome our newest board member: Eric Kirschman
Tell us about yourself:
I am a 2008 graduate of Prairie Home. My wife and I have been together since high school and were married in 2015. We have three kids Hudson, Stella, and Lettie. I am a full time farmer and mechanic. I enjoy serving my community. I have served on the city council and I am currently president of the PH Fair Board. Community service has always been important to me. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family, fishing, hunting, and side by side rides.
Why did you want to become a school board member?
I was asked to consider running and decided it was something I wanted to do. I have three kids that attend or will attend and I care about the future of the school not only for them but for all the kids in the community.
How long have you been a school board member?
I have been on the school board for almost a year.
Congratulations to these students for making the honor roll first semester!

Reminder: No School tomorrow, Monday Feb 9. See you all Tuesday!
TOMORROW: February 6th at 12:00 PM
School Day Game Day vs. Glasgow
Here is a quick reminder about our game tomorrow vs. Glasgow:
You may have noticed that this year we are hosting a basketball game during the school day. This is a great opportunity for our entire student body to support our student-athletes!
Below are some FAQs you may have about the event:
Outside fans are welcome and encouraged to attend. Admission prices and setup will be the same as a regular evening game. Students will be admitted free.
All Prairie Home students will have the opportunity to attend the game and visit the concession stand. All students will be provided a free bag of popcorn and water by the district. Please send money with your student if you would like them to purchase additional snacks.
The concession stand will be open as normal.
Entrance will be through the breezeway doors as usual. All other areas of the school will remain closed to the public.
We hope to see you there as we support our students in this unique and exciting opportunity!
