Karen Acres PTO wins Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant

We're thrilled to share that the Karen Acres PTO has been awarded a Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant! Thanks to this generous grant, the PTO will be purchasing a portion of the school supplies for ALL Karen Acres students for the upcoming school year. This means our families will have fewer items to buy!

Updated supply lists are now available here and reflect only the items that families need to provide. All other supplies will be covered through the grant funding.

We are so grateful to Prairie Meadows for the support and we hope this eases the back-to-school process for everyone!



Need a new field trip shirt?

Classes will be using the same field trip shirt as last year. If needed, you can purchase a replacement here.
