One little known fact about me
Why did you want to be involved with the Foundation? My children are very important to me. Anyway I can get involved in their educational and social development helps them as well as their peers grow into the leaders of our future.
What would you like to see happen at Prairie in the next 5-10 years? It is important to continue to look to the future to provide excellence in education, coupling that with maintaining a firm foundation with math and reading/writing skills to keep our graduates at the top academically and professionally.  The key to a strong educational program is not an emphasis on promoting athletics or the fine arts but a well roundedness and appreciation of athletics and fine arts.
