We have some fun (and colorful) surprises at the October 3rd event this year!

The 10th Annual Prairie Dog Dash will be held on Friday, October 3rd with the races starting at 8:45AM. All students and staff will walk/run one mile around Prairie Trail Elementary and the Aquatic Center sidewalks to help raise money for our school. Every student gets to participate and will even get a FREE shirt the day of the race! But before we get to the event, we need your help. With your grown-up, we need you to ask friends and family to sponsor you at the event. Your PTO donations last year provided two sets of soccer goals and allowed the PTO to put on free events such as Skate Night, Family Fun Night and the Back to School Pool Party. In addition, the PTO was able to support students and staff throughout the school year with contributions to class parties, recess supplies, teacher appreciation, Monster Mash Bash and Field Day!

The 10th annual Prairie Dog Dash, known as the Candyland Dash this year will take place on Friday, October 3rd with the races starting at 8:45am.

Your child will get their shirt the day of the race. They should wear tennis shoes to school.

TK-2nd will run with their individual classrooms. Each class will be staggered by a couple of minutes. We will still hold two heats for grades 3rd-5th. The first heat of each grade (3rd-5th only) will be a race style run. The other will be a “Fun Run” or relaxed race style. The below times are tentative. We try our best to keep to a timely schedule, but with 550 students racing, safety is our number one concern.
