The students of Prairie High School were extremely
generous in their support of the Prairie League Giving Tree. The
Prairie League organization places a tree in the high school cafeteria
with tags asking for a variety of items to help support the Hospice program
or the Pregnancy Crisis Center. The empathy shown by the students
was overwhelming. It was heartwarming to see the carload of items
that were donated. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful students
and caring families in our community. The tags are a wish list of
items. It is beyond hope that every tag is taken and filled.
With the help of a few last minute angels nearly every tag was filled.
It has been a season of giving. The students were so generous that the
task of wrapping and delivering the diapers, formula, hand knit blankets,
gift certificates, etc. was almost overwhelming. However, remembering
that these young students represent the best high school in all of Idaho
made the task easier. Shown above are just some of the items donated.

The 7th grade math classes began their consumer math
unit 2 weeks ago. The students enjoyed discovering the parts of a
dollar bill and the role the US Treasury Department plays in their everyday
life. The students were hired by the “Sonnen Accounting Firm” “Where
numbers mean money” The “accountants” had staff meetings, were held to
the highest accounting standards, and given a checkbook packet to complete.
Their packets consisted of story problems and scenarios that they could
encounter in their everyday life. After the fierce competition, those “accountants”
with the highest percent of accuracy were: Kody Duclos 99%, Claire Whitley
97.5%, Frank Spencer 97.25%, Tiffany Stinson 96% and Taylor Heitman 96%.
Each “accountant” received a Christmas bonus for their outstanding work
– a gift certificate to Subway. Their next challenge was to complete
a personal house account packet and a farm account packet. Accuracy
in writing checks, making deposits and having a completed and correct register
will determine the next winners. Watch out Donald Trump… the next
generation of millionaires is coming your way !!! Back from left are Spencer,
Duclos and Stinson. In front from left are Whitley and Heitman.

Callie Mader and Joshwa Zigler in the 12 and 13 year
old division, along with Tannor Ross and Ali Hoene in the 10 and 11 year
old division, and Brandon Higgins and Chaye Uptmor for the 8 and 9 year
olds, will be representing Prairie in the Elks National Hoop Shoot in Grangeville
on January 12th. This program is designed to provide an interesting,
character-building, competitive program for all girls and boys in the contest
regardless of their previous athletic competition or abilities. This nationwide,
sanctioned program gives these youngsters an opportunity for spirited competition,
fine relationships with their peers, and travel statewide, regionally and
nationally- at a minimal expense to their parents.
Not only are the participants involved in this wholesome,
individual-effort program, but parents, classmates, teachers and community
are included. Good luck to all the participants! Top photo from left
are Joshwa Zigler, Callie Mader, Ali Hoene and Tannor Ross. In the lower
