Locker Night – A Lock on Success
Prairie Mountain 7th and 8th graders crowded the hallways Wednesday night for our annual 7th/8th Grade Curriculum and Locker Night. Over 200 students and parents came to hear about the expectations for the school year and were rewarded by getting to choose their own locker at the end of the evening.
This is always a popular night with middle school kids, and this year was no exception.
