Kindergarten Music Sharing
The Prairie Trails Kindergarten Music Sharing is on Thursday, May 18th. This performance is an opportunity to see what your children have been working on in Music class and be part of the RTSD26 community. We’d love it if you and your family were able to attend! Below is schedule of when each grade will be performing:
6:00 PM (Nolter, Vernon, Naegele & Chmura)
6:40 PM (Frew, Patterson, Burke & Parker)
We’ll be performing in the Prairie Trails gym. Door 1 will open at 5:40 p.m. for families from the first show to find seats. Families attending the second show are asked to begin arriving at 6:20 p.m. There is no set dress code for the performance. We just ask that students dress nicely and feel comfortable in what they are wearing.
After the show there will be blizzards & dilly bars for sale. All ice cream purchases support the River Trails Music Boosters. The Music Boosters are a group of parent volunteers who fundraise for the RTSD26 Music program. They have been incredibly supportive of the RTSD26 Music program this year.
We will offer a virtual option for those that can’t be with us via a livestream feed on Youtube. This link will be shared the morning of the show. Please feel free to reach out to mthompson@rtsd26.org with any questions.

PT Specials Update
PE For our Kids Heart Challenge Celebration, the Raven Leaders came and played with us for an entire day. The kindergartners had a blast and I think the middle schoolers would even admit it was a fun day. Also this month we have been reviewing skills needed for spring sports such as overhand/underhand throwing, catching, and soccer skills (dribbling, trapping, passing and shooting). Field Day is coming Friday, May 26th. There will be plenty of opportunities to volunteer. Check your calendar! More information will be coming home in your child’s backpack soon. Don’t hesitate to email me with any questions. Beth Miller evossmiller@rtsd26.org
