It's Time to Register for Snowflake!
Snowflake will take place on Wednesday, November 15th from 3:10-6:00 PM at Prairie. Registration will be open until October 27th and will need to be completed through Revtrak.
Snowflake is a unique opportunity for middle school students to come together in an informal setting to teach valuable skills that develop healthy peer relationships, promote responsible decision-making and resist negative peer pressure. Sign your child up to experience a fun activity that will help them to gain a sense of belonging and a better understanding of one’s self and others all while having fun. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get involved!
