Prairie Vale Elementary School was a huge part of my childhood and I spent a great deal of time there while I was growing up. In addition to this being the school that I attended for elementary school, it was also the school where my mom worked as a principal for most of my life.  As a result of this, I spent countless hours with the kids of the other teachers roaming the halls after school hours waiting for our parents to get off work and it still has a special meaning to me as the place I grew up at.
