A Message from the Principal
Cross Prairie Families,
As we come to the close of our very first school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your support, partnership, and trust in helping us build something truly special at Cross Prairie K-8.
This year has been filled with many “firsts,” and together we have created a strong foundation for our school community. Our students have grown academically and socially, our staff have worked diligently to establish a positive and nurturing environment, and our families have played an essential role every step of the way. We could not have done this without you.
We are incredibly proud of all that has been accomplished in this inaugural year. Cross Prairie is already a place where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn, and that is a direct reflection of the partnership we share with our families.
As summer begins, I hope you and your family take time to relax, recharge, and enjoy special moments together. Whether traveling, spending time outdoors, or simply slowing down, I wish you a safe, happy, and restful summer.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back next school year at our Meet the Teacher Open House on Aug. 6, 2026. We will continue to grow and build upon the strong start we’ve made together.
Warm regards,
Mr. Frank Telemko
