Get ready to travel the world right here on the Prairie! Our annual International Fair was a wonderful success, celebrating the rich diversity of cultures that make up our Wildcat community. It was a fantastic evening of learning, exploring, and community as our students and families shared their culture, traditions, and research on countries from around the globe. Thank you to all the families who hosted country tables and shared the unique customs that make our school so special. The International Fair is an important event that helps our students gain a deeper understanding of the world and fosters a sense of global citizenship.
