Another successful year at the PrairieWood Transition Center...

The 2010-2011 PrairieWood school year is complete!  Congratulations to all our students for completing the school year.  It was a year of growing independence, increased confidence, and a lot of learning!  We will take a short breather from the blog updates for the summer while we all enjoy the beautiful Iowa weather that June, July, and August have to offer.  Please check back again at the end of August for new blog updates.  We will offer you a little bit of everyone today to wrap up the school year.  Enjoy!
