Prairie School Foundation








 
"Using one of the BPA laptops and printers funded through Foundation dollars, I headed to Orlando to compete in the Software Engineering Team competition at the BPA National Leadership Conference. We placed first! It was a moment in time that will be remembered for a lifetime. I know that I'm getting a quality education at Prairie that will enable me to compete in a national if not international job market."

One little known fact about me
Why did you want to be involved with the Foundation? I take a great amount of pride in helping others, especially our youth and I found this was a way to help our children in the College Community District. I also have a great amount of respect for our leaders with in our district and wanted to help them in any way I could and the foundation seemed a perfect way to do that.
What would you like to see happen at Prairie in the next 5-10 years? I would like to see the foundation to continue to improve and grow in support of Prairie, by providing more opportunities for our children in the pursuit of a world-class education.
