Dakota Prairie competed at the Acalympics meet today in Lakota! Out of nearly 20 teams, our students placed in the top three and advanced to the lightning round. They brought home an impressive 2nd place finish! (Not pictured: Lily Donohue)
Due to worsening weather and travel conditions, Dakota Prairie schools will have Virtual Learning today. Virtual Learning schedules can be found on the Dakota Prairie website. Stay home and stay safe!

Devices have been sent home as a precaution to tomorrow's weather forecast.
The district will alert families should learning become virtual.

Our 10th and 11th graders attended Reality Check in Tolna this week. The event is fully organized by the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Tolna. It gives students a unique way to explore a career through the lens of financial planning and smart decision making.
Students were shocked at the cost of daycare and groceries. They also learned how quickly student loan interest can double what you owe and make it difficult to buy a home. This experience helped them think about ways to cut costs such as attending a 2 year college, joining the National Guard, or becoming an RA on campus with free housing and a meal plan.
Thank you to the bank staff and community volunteers for sharing your time and talents with our students.
