🖤💛 **PRAIRIE COMMUNITY — IT’S REGIONAL TIME!** 💛🖤
We LOVE having our students in the building and we want the gym packed with as much **Black & Gold** as possible tomorrow as our Mustangs compete for a trip to STATE! 🐴🏀
With that being said, students will need to either go home after our early release and return for the games, or have a parent/guardian present to supervise them between dismissal and game time. There will not be staff available to supervise students during that time, as our staff and teams will be preparing for the games.
Our building will be bursting with teams and fans all day long, so to help everything run smoothly:
✨ The auxiliary gym will be CLOSED
✨ No running or playing in the hallways
Let’s represent Prairie with pride, class, and LOTS of Mustang spirit! Fill the stands, be loud, wear your BLACK & GOLD, and cheer on our teams as they battle for state!

One more congratulations to Prairie 2nd grader, Porter Halde! He was invited to play with a Sterling NeCo team (since Prairie doesn't have a team in his age division). His team went undefeated, 16-0 and won the league! Way to go, Porter!!
It was a great weekend for Mustang basketball! Congratulations to the 7th & 8th grade boys for winning their division in the NeCo league!
HUGE congratulations to our 5th grade Mustangs NeCo team on an incredible season. The boys battled all the way to the championship and finished League Runner-Up after a hard-fought overtime game against Brush. It needs to be noted that they are the ONLY 1A school in the league. They've made it to the championship game the past THREE years! We are so proud of their grit, teamwork and love of the game. The future is BRIGHT for Mustang basketball! 🖤💛
Changing gears to our younger mustangs.
We have a STATE CHAMPION wrestler at Prairie! 1st grader Zander Richards wrestles for Garcia Sports and wrestled his heart out this weekend at the state tournament at the Denver Colosseum.
His brother, 5th grader, Zayden also placed in the top 10 (out of 57!)
Way to be, boys! You make Prairie proud!
Regionals/first round of state brackets have been released!
