This month is reading month at the elementary. The theme is "Race to Candy Castle." Students are encouraged to read more to boost the benefits of reading, all while helping their class move across the school game board.

There are weekly challenges to help move game pieces through the board:
Week 1: Peppermint Forest- Read books with brave or cool characters.
Week 2: Gumdrop Mountains- Read a book with magic or adventure.
Week 3: Lollipop Woods- Read something beautifully illustrated.
Week 4: Chocolate Swamp- Read something you’ve been avoiding—biography, nonfiction, a longer story, etc.

Please help your child find time to read and encourage good reading habits.

January is National School Board Appreciation Month.

Dakota Prairie would like to acknowledge and thank our board members for their earnest dedication to improving our schools.

Mr. Dave Blasey, Petersburg representative and president
Mr. Charlie Stein, McVille representative and vice-president
