The kindergarteners in Mrs. McNichols's class were delighted with Doug the Miner's visit to their classroom. He showed the students who he'd colored his Flat Doug the Miner and encouraged them to color and share their own Flat Dougs. Did Flat Doug travel with you over fall break? We'd love to share his Proud Miner adventures. Send your Flat Doug submissions to communications@prospectridgeacademy.org. Please include your student's first name, grade, and where Flat Doug went with you.
Flat Doug is one way we show that we are Proud Miners! You, too, can show your Miner Pride by supporting PRA during our PRA Gives Week. Giving our Annual Gives fund helps us close the gap in funding PRA experiences and allows us to provide the best education opportunities for our students! Then you can contribute to a specific fund to support the areas that are closest to your heart.

This week we're thankful for our amazing elementary school Student Council! When the Miner Gold Rush Fun Run had to be canceled due to weather, the ES Student Council proposed a make-up event.
This morning before school elementary students who chose to participate ran laps around the turf field on the new playground while their classmates cheered them on. It was a wonderful way to start the last day before Fall Break!
Thanks, ES StuCo, for creating a great event for your student body!

Throughout November, PRA will share what members of our community are thankful for. Today we visited with April Wilkin, PRA's executive director, who said she's thankful for: "Spending time with my family, my two Miners (who are in 5th & 8th grades) in the beautiful outdoors of sunny Colorado. Especially when we can get up to the mountains like this trip to see the aspens turn in Summit County." #ThankfulThursday #PRAMiners #NationalGratitudeMonth

PRA 5th graders dressed as idioms for Core Knowledge Day. Their creativity in representing these phrases was inspiring! Can you guess the idiom they are representing?
#PRAElementary #CoreKnowledge #PRACoreKnowledgeDay











PRA elementary students celebrated Core Knowledge Day today. Each grade dressed in coordination with something they've been learning.
Kindergartners were farmers and farm animals. First graders represented fables and fairy tales. Second grade explored Ancient China. Third graders dressed as Roman citizens and ran from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. And fourth graders represented medieval times, dressing as knights, royalty and tradesmen.
It was fun-filled day of hands-on learning! #PRAElementary #PRACoreKnowledge #CoreKnowledgeDay











On Friday, October 27th, PRA hosted its annual Trick or Treat Street! Thank you to everyone who helped decorate the school, and to the amazing volunteers who made the rest possible. We had a great time seeing everyone dressed up and having fun!
