Shown are the April students of the month at Prairie
Jr./Sr. High School. From left are Garrett Crenshaw, junior high, and Talyss
Lustig and Nathan Gimmeson, high school. Garrett is very studious which
is evident as one of the strongest members of our high school Knowledge
Bowl Team. He is genuinely interested in all academic subjects, asks
good questions and is a help to all of those around him. Talyss has
helped with the Quilts of Valor and is planning to make one on her own
besides the scheduled one in class for next fall. She is willing to help
the other students in class when they need it and works very well on her
own. She is a pleasure to have in my sewing classes. Nathan is just a great
all around kid! He is known for his random acts of kindness and he
is loyal to all students and staff. Photo provided by Ryan Hasselstrom.Click

The Knights of Columbus and Boy Scout Troop 638 did
their annual roadside cleanup this spring. With some extra recruits from
neighbors and family we were able to get it done before the storm hit.
Service is one of our number one priorities for this community and for
the land that God gave us to take care of. We encourage you all to put
a grocery bag in your vehicle and stash the trash. Pictured are Greg Nau,
Melvin Sonnen, our masked dad Brad Berdoy, Paul Sonnen, Dan Karel, Carson
Schmidt, Anthony Karel, Hunter Chaffee, Tate Berdoy, Blaze Berdoy, Cody
Lockhast, and Kevin and Shari Chaffee. Thanks again for helping to keep
our roads clean. Photo provided by Shari Chaffee. Click on the photo for
