Celebration!

On Thursday, January 29th, Prairie Creek Elementary was privileged to host a group of BIST leaders from Nebraska, Michigan, and Kansas. During the visit, students and staff shared firsthand how BIST has positively influenced our school culture and supported student success across classrooms. Our student leaders did a phenomenal job welcoming guests, providing building tours, and confidently explaining how BIST plans help them stay focused, make positive choices, and be successful learners. We are proud of our students and staff and grateful for the opportunity to showcase the intentional, meaningful work taking place at PCE!
