Today, we at PRA want to say how thankful we are for each member of our community: our students, families, volunteers, staff, friends, and supporters!
We hope our Miners are having a wonderful Fall Break!

Education on a K-12 campus allows for students to mentor each other. At PRA, our elementary classes have buddies with whom they do projects each month. It's a chance for our students to feel known and valued by others students, as well as the staff. Prospect Ridge Academy, a kindergarten through 12th grade, public, charter school located in Broomfield, offers students the opportunity to attend school on the same campus in a small school environment from the first day of their school career through graduation. Come see all PRA has to offer! Register now to attend one of our upcoming Open Enrollment Sessions. Our next session is Saturday, Dec. 2.

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
First period AP Gov students being productive on their National History Day project work day in class. Everyone has partnered up and chosen a turning point in history to research about and create a big project presenting their ideas and thoughts about their topic. #PRAMiners #PRAAcademic #PRAAlwaysAMiner #PRAK12 #PRAHighSchool
Throughout November, PRA will share what members of our community are thankful for. Today we visited with Brandi Partin, our new K8 dean, who is joined in the photo by her pets, Olive and Dobbi.
"I am very thankful for a family that supports me and encourages me no matter what. I am very blessed and thankful to be part of an amazing team at PRA and grateful I get to hang out with such wonderful and loving students every single day!"
Join us during this National Gratitude Month in reflecting on the things you're thankful for. We would love to read them; just share in the comments.

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!
