Prairie PTO World Culture Day Cookbook Fundraiser
by: Ho Kye
The Prairie PTO World Culture Day Cookbook is a cookbook creation effort that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School’s Cultural Arts Committee who organize and sponsor an annual cultural assembly for all Prairie’s students. The cookbook will bridge and celebrate all of the wonderful cultures in our community and will be an exciting way to share in the global culture of food as a means to affirm trust, confidence, and comfort. The physical cookbook will be ready to be sold in time for the inaugural PTO World Culture Day on April 30. The World Culture Day will showcase several countries and cultures represented in our community with presentation boards, food samples, arts and crafts, and entertainment offerings. We are currently accepting recipes from local parents, teachers, staff, and community members between January 23 and February 28, 2020. The PTO World Culture Day committee will format the cookbook between March 1 and 31, 2020. The cookbook will be printed by April 15, 2020. As a sponsor, you can provide a flat donation to help defray the cost of printing so that all of the proceeds of the sale of the cookbook will benefit Prairie and its students. We also welcome cash donations in lieu of purchasing a physical book. If you are able to contribute your name and your company will be featured on a “Sponsors” page that will be printed inside each cookbook. You can donate via this page or via a check payable to “Prairie Elementary PTO”. Donations can be made anytime beginning January 23, 2020 through March 31, 2020. We are also seeking country ambassador volunteers to create boards and sit with us from 5:00-7:30 PM at the PTO World Culture Day Event at Prairie Elementary School on April 30. If you have any questions please contact pes_pto@waunakee.k12.wi.us Thank you for your support of Prairie’s PTO!

Prairie Stomp
by: Susan Brown, PTO
The Prairie Stomp is a school wide welcome back activity that serves as the major fundraiser for Prairie Elementary School. The 2019 Stomp will be on Friday, September 27th, with the rain date on October 4th. This approach to fundraising avoids selling products and directs ALL profits (less Stomp expenses) back to the school by encouraging students to get pledges and run laps to raise money for the PTO programming. Money raised through this year’s Prairie Stomp will be used to purchase two Ga-ga-ball Pits (~$7300 each), birthday books for students, and classroom materials (classroom library books, book room collections, & flexible seating). Students are encouraged to collect either a flat donation or per lap pledge. On the event day, students run/walk a looped track on the school field for 20 minutes. The students gain an appreciation of teamwork, a sense of strong school unity, and the importance of being healthy and exercising all while having fun with their fellow classmates. The PTO provides each child with a FREE Prairie Stomp t-shirt and a healthy snack on the event day. The students also work together, as a school, to achieve school wide fundraising goals and earn prizes: Level 1 ($20,000): Matt Wilhelm (BMX anti-bullying message) Level 2 ($25,000): All School PJ Day Level 3 ($30,000): Principal/Associate Principal on the School Roof In addition to the school wide fundraising goals, there are other running goals: 1. Individual: The top lap running boy(s) and girl(s) in each grade level will receive a special recognition award for their strong performance. 2. Classroom: The classroom within each grade level with the highest average lap per student will earn an extra recess equipped with a bouncy house. 3. Prairie Spirit Award: For the boy and girl from each grade whom our teachers and staff feel demonstrates above and beyond effort, teamwork and attitude. We want everyone to know that the success of this event is not possible without your support and the tremendous efforts of perseverance, determination, and will-power of each student to do their very best. We will celebrate the collective effort of every student! Thank you for supporting Prairie in such a positive way. As a sponsor, you can donate a set amount (flat donation) prior to the event. If you prefer to make a per lap donation, we ask that you wait to enter your donation until after the event. The student you are pledging will let you know after the event how many laps he/she completed so you may calculate the total amount to be donated. Donations can be made anytime beginning August 13, 2019 through October 11th, 2019. We cannot have a successful event without our amazing volunteers! You can sign up to help out on the day of the Stomp through the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b45a5a62da0f94-2ndannual If you’re unable to volunteer, we still encourage you to stop by, watch and cheer on your student.
