Our middle school student council chapter had a great state conference in Bismarck!
✨Emma Erickson (8th grader) was a state representative for the 25-26 school year, and did an awesome job running the conference along with the other state officers.
🏅Cooper Washek (7th grader) ran for office against 13 other students from around the state and won! He will serve as a state representative for the 26-27 school year! His slogan was "Be super, vote or Cooper," and his campaign was about stopping discrimination in schools by encouraging others to be more accepting, and providing ways for students to be able to talk openly to adults if they have issues.
👏Our students were great examples of our school by showing awesome school spirit, helping Cooper campaign, participating in break out sessions, and learning more about what it takes to be a great leader!
🏆Their advisor, Mrs. Bickel, was named the State Middle School Student Council Advisor of the Year for 2025-2026!
💜Our chapter was recognized for their outstanding efforts in fundraising for the Alzheimer's Association this school year!

📢 ND A+ State Testing This Week!
South Prairie students, in grades 6-12, will be taking the ND A+ state assessments this week in Math, Reading, Writing, and Science.
Our students have worked hard all year long, and now they get to show what they know and be their best!
Please help your student be prepared by ensuring they are:
✔ Well-rested
✔ On time to school
✔ Ready to do their best
South Prairie has a strong history of success on these assessments, and we are working to build on that by providing research-based testing conditions to support student performance. Students will be testing in large group settings throughout the week.
The ND Legislature has approved the ND A+ as an alternative to the ACT for demonstrating postsecondary and workforce readiness, and these scores will be used for the ND State Scholarship for the Class of 2027 and beyond.
Thank you for your support in helping our students succeed!
