Thank you!
A great big thank you goes out to each and every family for the thoughtful and generous surprise bridal shower! What a special treat! The kids were very sweet and excited! Thank you to Mrs. Patera and Mrs. Burton for helping to organize the party. John and I are so thankful for the gift and I am so lucky to have such an awesome group of students and parents!
Thanks for making a memory that will last my lifetime!
Be sure to come back and visit me next year as the new "Mrs. Olsen" =)
A note from the office:
YEARBOOKS: will be handed out to students on June 5th. Any students who did not purchase a yearbook may do so on a first-come-first-serve basis on June 5th; they will go on sale after morning announcements. The cost will be $10.00 and children wishing to purchase should have exact amount. Checks can be made out to Prairieview. There is a limited supply. Prairieview yearbook orders were not paid for at registration. A flyer was sent out in November and orders were due by Monday, December 3, 2007.

They are to pretend they are travel agents from their chosen planet and they are working on songs, commercials, posters, and brochures to convince the class to "travel" to their planet. We will present these next week and vote our on favorite space destination.
It's hard to believe this year is almost over. I have truly enjoyed working with each and every student and family. I am looking forward to our last fun filled week together next week. Have a wonderful weekend!
