What a great start to the school year!
Unfortunately, at 10:07 a.m. today, I received a DocuSign email from an address that was impersonating Mindy Fowler's email address. THIS DID NOT come from Mindy. Please do not open the DocuSign and delete the email. Since this email did not originate from the school's account, we do not have a list of all contacts that may have received the fraudulent email. We are currently investigating with our security company.

Celebrating over 100 years of teaching! Join us for an Open House on Saturday, May 17th!
THANK YOU! The East Prairie Positivity Committee was able to do so much for their building this school year (still some goodies left to come) because they had so many donations. These donations came from parents, teachers, and many businesses in our surrounding area. These donations increased our building morale in more ways than one throughout the year. Again, we want to say thank you! It would not have been possible without you!
We are excited to have Mr. Winecke join our staff for the 25-26 school year.

Mrs Wallace’s 8th grade science classes were visited today by several doctoral students from the Biophotonics Imaging Lab in Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois. Students learned all about the research currently underway to help diagnose medical conditions of the ear. They even got hands on experience with several pieces of technology that help see into the ears using both light and sound waves. Thank you to Mr. Spillman for organizing this visit and sharing your knowledge with the 8th graders.
Thank you Ms. Dietrich for all you do for our students! We are lucky to have you!
