Board Member Spotlight: Meet Pat Twenter
Hello, my name is Patrick Twenter and I am the President of the Prairie Home RV School. I was born and raised in Boonville where I attended Saint Peter and Paul School K-8 and the graduated from Boonville High School.
I am married to Holly Graff, a 1992 graduate of Prairie home. We have 3 children. Brendan,Ashlyn and Chandler. Ashlyn was a 2020 graduate of Prairie Home and Chandler is a Freshman at Prairie Home. Things we enjoy doing as a family are taking trips to Springfield MO to visit Brendan as well as trips to Peoria Illinois to visit Ashlyn and her fiancé, Reece Clapp. Also Chandler and I enjoy hunting, shooting sports and fixing up two 1954 pickups we have.
As for the question of, Why I wanted to be a Board Member? The answer is, I did not. I was asked by a sitting Board Member to file as a candidate due to the lack of interest from members of the district. Soon after being elected I quickly grew a passion for education and wanting to ensure students of our district and surrounding districts had the best education and activities we could provide.
I have enjoyed and appreciated my time on the Board and everyone I have worked with to make Prairie Home RV the BEST school for a students education.
Thanks Pat!

I grew up in the St Louis area and moved to Prairie Home in 1994. I run the Capital Access Program for the Missouri Women's Business Center. As of January 1 of 2026 I opened Warrior Mode Functional Fitness and Nutrition inside Agility Athletics on Hwy 98.
I have 2 children. Madison, who graduated from Prairie Home in 2021, and Paxton who is currently in 8th grade at Prairie Home. We love to travel, Savannah Banana Baseball and Halloween.
I wanted to become a board member because I wanted to get involved and help make a difference. It's important to get involved and be a voice for our children.
I have lived and traveled many places but I love our town. This community is like no other. I love everything that is happening inside our school walls. I truly see family being built within the staff, administration, and kiddos.
Thanks Jamie!

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 !
