I am pleased to welcome you and your child into my class. There is so much to learn, discover, and practice. I believe education is built on cooperative effort between parent, child, and teacher. I hold high expectations for conduct and academic growth. With your participation in and out of the classroom, I look forward to a very successful year. It is a privilege to be a part of your child's education. GO BOBCATS!

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year. I am shocked to say that this is already my tenth year of teaching. Time flies when you are having fun. The past four years I have been at Prairie View Elementary teaching Special Education. I have also taught fourth grade and kindergarten. I have been married for 11 years and have three children, ages 9, 5, and 2. When I am not teaching I like to read, be outdoors, sew, and spend time with my family. I love teaching and could not imagine doing anything else. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your child's education.

I LOVE teaching for the New Prairie School Corporation. This is my 26 th year teaching in a variety of grade levels and positions. I hold Advanced Degrees from Purdue University as well as an Early Childhood license and a High Ability License. While not teaching, I love to travel, read, shop and garden.I am a wife and a mother of two grown children.

Hello! I teach visual art classes at Prairie View School. I have been at Prairie View since the new building was constructed in 1995. I have had the pleasure to work with thousands of students in the study and creation of art. This year we will explore many different media, including paint, clay and paper maché. Students will learn various art techniques and art principles, plus having the chance to be creative problem solvers. I look forward to another great year in art! -Mr. Kil

I graduated from Purdue University. BOILER UP!! I have taught grades K, 1, 2, Reading Remediation, E.L.L., and I am currently a First Grade Teacher and a Literacy Coach.

I have devoted my life to teaching music and couldn't be happier!! When I first graduated from DePauw University with a degree in music education, I taught in Mishawaka. I joined the Prairie View family in 2000. It is such a pleasure to teach the children about many aspects of music: singing, movement, reading and writing music, playing instruments, listening to and performing music. I hope you visit this page often and keep updated on what the students are doing in music class!

Hello! My name is Mrs. Piesyk (formerly Feece). I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself. I am in my 9th year of teaching, and loving every minute of it! I am a graduate of Indiana University at South Bend and Ball State University, with both a graduate and undergraduate degree in elementary education! I am in my 6th year or teaching 4th grade. I previously taught 1 year of kindergarten, and 2 years in 1st grade at both Prairie View and Olive Elementary. I am a life long resident of this area and a 2002 graduate of New Prairie High School! I believe strongly in this community, as well as this corporation, and the wonderful families that it serves. Thank you for being one of them!

I have been teaching for many years. I love working with my students and the teachers in my building. Teaching sure has changed!

Hello Parents, Guardians, and Family Members! My name is Miss Friday and I am SO excited to be at Prairie View this year. I attended Prairie View the first two years it was open and before that I went to Galena Elementary. During those years I made many fond memories that tie me to the community and the schools. Previously I worked for for Duneland School Corporation as an RTI coordinator. Coming back to Prairie View feels like coming home :) I look forward to a year of fun learning!
