Four more weeks of Prairie View Beanstack winners, and our readers are still going strong!
The next two weeks, Mrs. Max will select two winners from every class:
• The top reader with the most minutes logged
• One random student who logged their reading time
That means everyone who logs minutes has a chance to win!
With spring break and long weekends coming up, it is the perfect time to keep the reading streak alive. Whether it is a chapter book, a graphic novel, or a bedtime story, every minute counts. Keep logging those minutes in Beanstack, and you might be our next winner.
Let’s keep turning pages, OG readers!

Teammates is more than a program... It is mentorship, connection, and caring adults showing up consistently for kids.
Two of Ogallala’s Teammates matches chose to spread a little extra kindness this Valentine’s Day by making treats for their classmates and Prairie View staff! What a sweet way to celebrate friendship and community. As you can see, a great time was had by all!
The TeamMates Mentoring Program connects students with positive adult mentors who meet regularly, build relationships, and make a lasting impact. Moments like this remind us that mentorship is not just about academics. It is about encouragement, belonging, and having someone in your corner.
If you have ever considered becoming a mentor, now is the perfect time. Join us in making a difference in the life of a student.
