We hope you have enjoyed the first three chapters of Ranger in Time! Book discussions have begun at school, and students have worked together as a class to “pack” their covered wagons for the adventure. Be sure to ask your student what their class decided to pack!
Today, students will be coming home with their first Family Activity. We are looking forward to seeing all of their creativity. If possible, please return the completed activity early next week.

South Prairie Families and Community Members,
As the winter sports season comes to a close and we enter into tournament play, I want to remind everyone that South Prairie has a long-standing tradition of being a place where people want to come—whether it’s for a game, a concert, or a school event. That reputation didn’t happen by accident. It was built over time through strong community support, mutual respect, and pride in how we represent ourselves.
When we attend games and school activities, people notice. They know who we are. They see how we act. Our reputation is shaped far more by our behavior than by wins and losses.
We ask all parents and fans to continue representing South Prairie School in a positive, respectful manner at all sporting and school events. Cheer hard. Support our students. Be passionate. But remember that officials, opposing teams, and visiting communities are guests—and our students are watching how adults handle both success and adversity.
Our goal has never been to be known solely for the scoreboard. We want to be known for class, sportsmanship, and a community that supports its kids the right way.
Let’s continue to show others why South Prairie is a place people respect and enjoy visiting—by setting the example every time we are in the stands.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and our school.
Wayne Stanley
Superintendent, South Prairie School

Student Council hosted its annual Royal Ties event, bringing students together to create tie blankets for donation to the Domestic Violence Crisis Center. Attendance grows each year, and it’s amazing to see the generosity and dedication of our South Prairie students. Participants arrived at school as early as 7:15 a.m. to help make a difference!
Beyond blanket-making, students enjoyed working as a team, spending time with friends, and sharing donuts for breakfast.
Great job, Royals!
