Are you ready?

August 18th, 2010

It was so wonderful to see so many of you at the Open House earlier this week!  I hope you all had a chance to look around and get rid of some fears you may have as we move into another school year.  Some of you were even able to meet new friends!

The 2010-2011 School year begins tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited.  We have a lot of exciting things planned for this school year.  We hope you are ready to work hard, learn a lot, and have some fun along the way.

See you tomorrow! :)

Oh, the anticipation!

July 29th, 2010

Where did the summer go?  It seems just days ago we were in the living room at the center, huddled around the tv, watching the 2009-2010 Video yearbook.  I hope everyone found some time to relax and have some fun on their summer vacations.  AND I hope everyone is well rested and gearing up for another awesome year at the PrairieWood Transition Center.

You are here, visiting our blog, which means you have already learned about our new website.  Please take some time to navigate around the site and see all the great things it has to offer for not only current students/families but future students/families as well.  Check back often for updates on PrairieWood activities, lunch menu, and also for our Student Blog.  This blog will be updated weekly with posts made by our students.  Each week one new student will be a feature writer and tell you about all the things we did throughout the past week.  Its a way for our students to learn to access technology, practice writing skills, and reflect on all the skills they are gaining day to day in their time spent at the PrairieWood Transition Center.

We are excited about all the things the new school year has in store and we hope you are as well!!

...STAY TUNED!
