Teacher’s Favorite Things

With the holidays approaching you may be looking for a special treat or gift for our wonderful Prospect staff.  Our Teacher Appreciation Committee has taken out all the guesswork and compiled a list of the staff’s favorite things to help you in your holiday shopping.

Attention Holiday Pianists

We are lucky to have many talented young pianists at Prospect School! On Wednesday, Dec. 19 our piano will be in the main hallway before school to welcome students, staff, and teachers as they arrive. If your child is currently playing a holiday piece and would like to perform at that time, please fill out the online form by Tuesday, Dec. 11 to secure a performance slot for your child. Students who sign up should feel comfortable playing their piece accurately by themselves. Performers are more than welcome to bring their music with them to read. If you have any questions, please e-mail Mrs. Kozakis (ekozakis@d181.org).

Please Participate in Our School Survey

Thank you to all who have completed the CSCI survey. Currently, 16% of the Prospect Families have taken the survey.  If you haven’t already, please click the link and take a few minutes to provide your feedback about our school climate. This feedback helps us to foster positive youth development, build community and school pride, celebrate strengths, and identify needs. The results will be available in early 2019 and are often reported on by local media. Your participation is critical to our success!

4th Grade Service Project

Our fourth grade students traditionally participate in an optional service project each year.  Every year we collect and donate toys to a children’s hospital in the area.  Please see this form for more details and what items are needed for the project.  These items will be organized into baskets which will be donated to the children who are recovering from surgeries and other various illnesses.  We will be collecting the items now through December 20th.
