That's a wrap on the 2025 fall semester! Have a wonderful Winter Break, Miners 🥰❄️

♻️🌎 Miner Mania ♻️🌎

Way to finish the semester strong, Miners!! We had HUNDREDS of cans to add to the collection bin today as we continue our chase for #OneMillionCans

Be sure to collect your cans over winter break as the Million Cans Recycling Contest continues through April 30! #PRAMiners ♻️

Before heading off to winter break, make sure you stop by the Lost & Found areas to claim your missing items! Our Lost & Found areas are currently chalk full of bags, coats, hats, water bottles, notebooks and more. We'd love to be able to get these items back to the proper owners.

PRA will set up tables outside the K8 and High School front offices on Tuesday, December 17 and Wednesday, December 18 during Elementary Assessments and Finals Week. Look through the lost items any time between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. those two days.

Any items that are not claimed will be donated on Friday, December 19.

PRA is excited to announce the hiring of Eric Wolf as the next varsity girls' soccer head coach! Coach Wolf will be a familiar face to student-athletes as he is currently in his 13th year at PRA as a teacher and has been an active soccer coach since 1998 #PRAMiners
