The Prairieview PBIS team is extending a wonderful opportunity to begin the new year with a community service project. We will be holding a Food Pantry Drive at school for the West Suburban Community Pantry in Woodridge from March 11-15. Boxes will be provided in each classroom to collect the non-perishable food items. Girl Scout Troop 50251, comprised of third and fourth grade students from Prairieview, has graciously volunteered to pack up and deliver the donated food on March 16th. Thank you in advance for your generosity of spirit and deed!
