As summer is in full swing, we’re taking a moment to reflect on and celebrate the incredible 2024–25 school year at CICS Prairie—a year full of academic growth, artistic expression, and meaningful connections.
Our dedicated educators focused on creating an inclusive and engaging environment where every student could thrive. From innovative project-based learning in the STEM lab to strong social-emotional supports, Prairie students deepened their curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. The vibrant music program continued to inspire, with students collaborating to create memorable performances that celebrated creativity and community.
A standout moment this year was the launch of our student council, started by one of our own 7th grade students! This new leadership group quickly became a powerful voice in school decisions, helping shape a culture where student perspectives are valued and leadership skills flourish. Another great student leadership moment came from two of our students who took their lemonade stand to a whole new level—including writing a book!
We also strengthened family and community partnerships, hosting events that brought everyone together and supported student success. Prairie’s commitment to fostering a welcoming, inclusive culture ensured all voices were heard and valued. Thank you to our families, staff, and students for making the 2024–25 school year one to remember. Here's to a restful, fun-filled summer—and to an even brighter year ahead!
