Check out the Snowflake Parent Video!
Our Snowflake Speakers, M&P shared a parent video following their evening with students at Snowflake.
We thought we would share the video with the Prairie community so that everyone could see a bit of what students learned and experienced at Snowflake 2024. We hope you enjoy our parent video!
We are looking forward to another great year of Snowflake in 2025, look for registration next October.
