Intent to Return
Intent to Returns were sent out on Friday, 2/14. If you have not submitted your family's completed form yet, please do so by Friday, February 28. We need to hear from all families, whether you will be returning or not. Contact the office with questions.
Winter Weather
The weather can change from sunshine to snow in an instant, so please be sure to send your student to school with weather appropriate clothing. Coats, snow pants, gloves, boots, and hats are staples, but often it is wet and muddy and an extra change of clothes is a good idea, as well. Dressing in layers can help too. The office has a very limited amount of extra clothing for emergencies so it is important that students who own cold weather gear bring their own.
Spring Break Snack Packs for Students
The Wellness Program is excited to offer Spring Break Snack Packs for children who could benefit from having a few extra snacks during the break. Each pack will include a selection of healthy snacks, along with some fresh fruit items. If you would like your child to receive a snack pack, please contact tsnodgrass@palouseprairieschool.org by Thursday, February 27, 2025. Be sure to include any food allergies or dietary restrictions we should be aware of. Thank you, and we hope your child enjoys a healthy and happy spring break!
For the Love of Coffee
For the Love of Coffee
Landgrove and PPCS have paired up to indulge your love of coffee and support for our amazing school. You can select ANY coffee you wish using this link: http://landgrove-coffee.myshopify.com/PPCS . When you check out you will have a chance to put in your donation amount. Coffee ordered online will be shipped out as they are ordered, so your wait to indulge will be minimal. Coffee can be delivered for in-person pick-up at the end of the fundraiser, which has been extended until March 7th. I will have the coffee delivered to my residence since PPCS will be closed for spring break the following week. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Flynn at ppcsparentcrew@gmail.com.
Thanks supporting PPCS and Landgrove Coffee!

American's Field Trip Essay & Art Contest
Idaho students in grades 3 and up are invited to share their perspectives on what America means to them for a chance to join peers on field trip experiences at some of the nation’s most iconic historical and cultural landmarks with the America’s Field Trip essay and artwork contest.
The America’s Field Trip contest asks students to take an active role in the conversation. Students are divided into three divisions: elementary (grades 3 – 5), middle school (grades 6 – 8) and high school (grades 9 – 12). They may submit physical and digital artwork or a written essay of up to 500 words. Twenty-five first-place winners from each grade level will receive a three-day, two-night chaperoned trip to a select cultural or historical site.
Application materials are available at https://america250.org/fieldtrip/application/. The contest submission deadline is April 16.
