Pretty Prairie USD 311 celebrated the start of construction for its new middle school gym in a unique way.
Instead of hosting a groundbreaking ceremony, K-12 students, staff, and school board members each had the opportunity to sign one of the beams that was hoisted into the air and placed in the new middle school gym structure this morning. The beam was placed at about 10:30 a.m.
Students, staff, and each board member signed the beam last week!








Reminder: For any students in the class of 2027 (sophomores) class ring orders are due tomorrow!! Jostens will be at the high school at 8 a.m. tomorrow to confirm orders and finger sizes! Bring Jostens your online ring order confirmation number tomorrow!
Each student should have received an order catalog at the meeting last week. There are a few extras in the high school office.
