Wish List
In the past, Prairie Creek students have benefitted tremendously from things donated by our families.  Often, we need things you are thinking about getting rid of anyway.  We figure that it never hurts to ask.  Here are some of the things we would love to have:

Whole School:
  • Old (but working) iPod Touches and iPads
  • Soccer Goal
  • Small cross country ski shoes (SNS binding)
  • Large cross country ski boots (SNS binding -- we really need sizes 41,42, 43)
  • Stilts
  • kid sized snow shovels
  • Child-sized real cooking tools
  • Nature Inquiry Bags (Overtime, we would like to assemble a total of 20 bags)
  1. A canvas bag with handles
  2. Clipboard with string and pencil attached
  3. Thermometer suitable for gauging outside temp
  4. Colored pencils and small sturdy sharpener
  5. Binoculars
  6. Hand magnifier
  7. Plastic bug/specimen jars (magnifying lid is a bonus)
  8. 1 or more field guides (insects, trees, butterflies, birds, etc.)
  9. Miscellaneous helpful tools (e.g. anything that might help a young scientist study the outdoors.)
