Dear Community Members, My name is Melody Paulson, and I am the Principal at PRAIRIE HOME RV SCHOOL. We are launching a Book Blast literacy initiative on 9/12/2023, and the goal of the event is to get as many new, age-appropriate books as possible into the hands of our students. Our children deserve the opportunity to have more books at home to develop strong literacy skills such as vocabulary, spelling, and reading comprehension, which can lead to more effective communication skills as they become adults. As someone who manages a business and works with people daily, I’m sure you understand just how important these skills are in the development of our students. The Book Blast provides an opportunity for you and others in our community to help build up the home library of each student at our school and to help our school receive new books and educational resources. Every dollar you contribute will go toward books and educational supplies for our students and staff! Know that whether you contribute $10 or $100, you are making an impact in the lives of our students. Here’s how you can contribute to our Book Blast: · Contribute online at http://tinyurl.com/PrairieHomeCommunityLink · Or send a check made out to: Books Are Fun Book Blast PRAIRIE HOME R5 SCHOOL 301 HIGHWAY DR PRAIRIE HOME MO 65068-2333 Thank you in advance for your contribution. It means so much to our school and our community to have your support! Sincerely, Mrs. Paulson

Dear PRAIRIE HOME R5 SCHOOL Families, Exciting news! We have partnered with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students' home libraries. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy. Today our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we ask you to take 7 minutes to help build your child’s home library. CLICK BELOW TO HELP YOUR STUDENTS AND THEIR CLASSMATES: http://bookblast.booksarefun.com/PrairieHomeR565068 Registration steps: - Click the link above or scan the QR code on the Treasure Map. - Register & Invite 10+ friends/family members who would like to support your child’s love of books. - The first 20 students to participate will receive their rewards tomorrow! Don’t worry, if your student is not one of the first 20, they will receive their 3 rewards at the end of the event. - To enter your child into the drawings for one of 4 Treasure Chests or for the iPad that will be given away during the first week of the event, invite 15+ friends/family members during registration. Why I love this program: · It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student! · 100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies. Books will be delivered to the school a few weeks after the event ends. · The booklist is fantastic! It’s on the attached Treasure Map; check it out. · Registering your child/children will take you about 7 minutes. There is NO financial requirement from you. · All the information you provide is secure and only used for this program. More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation. Thank you for helping our students and our school!

The baseball and softball games for tonight have been cancelled due to wet conditions. there will be no softball practice today. JH Basketball and Cheer will leave for Bunceton at 3:30 and the bus will return after practice instead of having to wait for the softball game to return. If you have any questions please contact your coaches or Coach Ray.

Did you know that your student (grades 6-12) receives a Weekly Progress Report? This report informs you of their current grade and missing assignments. It is provided every Monday (or first day of the school week if there is no school). Also, this Progress Report can be signed and returned by Friday morning for extra credit in some classes.

Here are this week's activities: Monday 9/11: Baseball VS New Bloomfield 5:30 PM Softball VS Eldon @ Bunceton 5:30 PM Tuesday 9/12: Baseball VS New Franklin 5:30 PM Softball @ Russellville 6:15 PM Wednesday 9/13: Baseball VS Crocker 5:30 PM Softball VS Vienna @ Bunceton 5:30 PM Thursday 9/14: Softball @ New Franklin 5 PM Saturday 9/16 Cross Country @ New Franklin 8:30 AM

One of the many upgrades the school is undergoing thanks to our school safety grant is electronic access control on our exterior doors. If you have events/meetings that you need the school building for or practices that will use the gym, please coordinate these times with the office or Coach Ray for all athletic uses. This will allow us to have the breezeway doors unlocked during those times, and then the system will automatically lock down as well after the event is scheduled to be over. The key box has been removed, so please schedule your events and alert us of any cancellations. Thank you for helping keep our facilities safe and secure! (If your event is already on the district calendar, we have it scheduled in the door system as well.)
