One little known fact about me I snore.
Why did you want to be involved with the Foundation? I wanted to help the school system that my children are involved in. The Foundation has done an excellent job in the past and I hope that it was my turn to help out.
What would you like to see happen at Prairie in the next 5-10 years? I would like to see the system continue to offer the top grade education and services they offer to our students on a daily basis. And to continue to offer the safe environment without losing the open community atmosphere. And of course get more parents and Prairie supporters involved in the Foundations fund raiser!
