From Pre-K through 5th grade, our amazing grade-level teams are working together to make every day a great day to be a Prairie Dog! 💙

These teams bring together different strengths, ideas, talents, and perspectives... all with one shared goal: helping every student learn, grow, and feel belonging.

We are so grateful for the dedication, energy, and heart they bring to Moran Prairie Elementary! 🐾

🌈 Starting the school year in full color! 💫

Our Moran Prairie staff came together for some community tie-dye fun—because what better way to kick off a new year than with creativity, connection, and a whole lot of color?! 💙💜💚💛🩷

Per student Henry F., “We look like outer space.” 🚀✨

And you know what? He’s right. The Moran Prairie staff is truly out of this world! 🌎🌟

Thanks to our counselor, Mrs. Lorimer, for bringing us all together!

Welcome to Moran Prairie, Kindergarten!

What a wonderful first day for our newest Prairie Dogs! 🐾

Our kindergarteners jumped right in. Meeting new friends, exploring their classrooms, learning school routines, and sharing lots of smiles along the way! 📚✏️

A huge thank you to our amazing kindergarten teachers and staff for creating such a warm, welcoming start to the year.

Welcome to the Prairie Dog family, Kindergarten! We’re so glad you’re here! 🐾💙

If You Give a School Some Students… 🐾💚

They'll start by welcoming friends—new and old.

And when they see some friendly faces, they’ll probably want a few high-fives from the Kindness Squad. ✋

Once they’re inside, they’ll need to learn some new routines and expectations so they know how to learn, play, and take care of one another.

And when they know what to do, they’ll be ready to play some games, laugh together, and start building their classroom community.

Of course, they’ll want to explore the building and figure out where everything is.

Then they’ll start sharing who they are with their new classmates and teachers—and their teachers will get to share a little about themselves, too.

They’ll read some books, pose for a few first-day photos, practice mindfulness, ask questions, make connections, and learn a LOT of names.

And somewhere along the way, a group of students and staff who walked in this morning will start to feel a little more like a school community. 💚

And if you give a school a community… there’s no telling how much they’ll learn, grow, and accomplish together. 🌱

What a wonderful first day at Moran Prairie! Thank you to our students and staff for filling our school with so much joy, energy, and kindness today. Here’s to a year of learning, growing, and growing with kindness! 🐾🌱💚

This week we welcomed families back ahead of the first few days with our annual feeder pattern Block Party! It was so great seeing familiar faces, new faces, and getting a chance to connect through fun. Thanks for showing up, Prairie Dogs!

Want to help our SPS community impacted by the fires?

So many are starting their school year looking very differently, and needing some comfort and hope. To help, we’re partnering with other Feeder Pattern Schools to collect donations of stuffies or art supplies that will be passed out to students at affected schools during their Launch Conferences.

If you can help, please bring either a new stuffed animal with a note of encouragement or a pencil box filled with art supplies to the Block Party. There will be multiple donation spots at the Block Party.

Can’t make it to the Block Party but want to donate? Bring by the Moran Prairie office Monday or Tuesday next week between 9 and 3, and we will coordinate drop-off at the Block Party.

Hey Prairie Dogs - it’s almost the first day back and it’s time to party!

Join Moran Prairie and the rest of the Ferris Feeder Pattern schools for our annual Block Party! Come for the games, prizes, and food… stay to dunk Ms. Hellenthal at the Pitch Burst!

When: Tuesday August 18th, 4-6 pm
Where: Ferris High School Victory Plaza

We will also be taking donations to help students and families of our schools impacted by the fires. We are accepting donations of stuffies or art supplies that will be passed out to students at affected schools during their Launch Conferences. Our community has been through so much, and the start of the year for many is going to look incredibly different. We are hoping to take action to offer some kindness, love, and hope to our friends.

If you can help, please bring either a new stuffed animal with a note of encouragement or a pencil box filled with art supplies to the Block Party. There will be multiple donation spots at the Block Party.

Can’t make it to the Block Party but want to donate? Bring by the Moran Prairie office Monday or Tuesday next week between 9 and 3, and we will coordinate drop-off at the Block Party.
