| Juniors
make trip to U of I
The Prairie High School juniors left Cottonwood at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 31st. With Principal Mr. Snodgrass driving the bus, they headed out to spend a  day
in Moscow on the University of Idaho campus. They were given a tour of
the new Business College building, the Student Recreation Center, and the
entire campus. At the College of Agriculture, they witnessed a presentation
by Dr. Jenny Hansen on how DNA is extracted from wheat and how that information
is used to make new types of rust resistant wheat. They enjoyed touring
dorm rooms in Wallace Complex and the Towers and getting to have lunch
in the Commons, where many U of I students eat every day. The girls
got to visit the Tri Delta sorority with Heather Schumacher, while the
rest of the class went with Travis Uptmor to tour Delta Chi fraternity.
The PHS students ran into previous Prairie students all over the campus.
The tour schedule was set up by the office for New Student Services.
Chris Rehder, Kelby Wilson, Heather Schumacher, and Travis Uptmor were
asked to meet up with the group in order to make sure that Prairie students
got a great campus tour! It turned out to be an enjoyable day
on the U of I campus.
