Spread your wings!

Today is a very special day at PrairieWood.  Today, one of our students is spreading her wings and flying out on her own.  Sarah will be leaving us to begin work at Goodwill.  We could not be more excited and proud of her.  Sarah has learned so much and grown in her time at PrairieWood.  She is such a hard worker and so driven.  Good luck Sarah!  We hope all good things for your new, independent life!


We also celebrated a 21st birthday today!  Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!  Thank you for sharing a sweet treat with us!

With all this celebrating we managed to find time to learn too.  We spent our morning at the Iowa City Fire House 4 and had a great tour led by Mr. Brian Marak.  Brian showed us through the fire house and showed us all the equipment on the fire trucks that help the fire fighters help all of us.

Enjoy your weekend!

Snow Days oh Snow Days!

My goodness!  What a winter we are having!  We "enjoyed" yet another Snow day this week.  What did you do with your extra day?  It was too cold to get out there and make a snow man.  Despite our change in routine, we managed to have a good week and got a lot done.

Our feature blogger this week is Nolan.  Here is what he had to say about his week at PrairieWood...
"This week at PrairieWood I learned to do a good job at work.  I enjoyed making a grilled cheese sandwich.  I was challenged by getting the grilled cheese sandwich from the plate to the frying pan.  At PrairieWood I would like to learn more about focusing on work, not watching TV.  I had a really good week at school."

Have a great weekend!
