The best thing about Prairie Ridge are the assemblies. Before COVID, going to the assemblies was always something that people would look forward to as it always meant that something fun was going on at the school or that something great was accomplished. It was an opportunity to celebrate as a whole and I hope that we can get back to this tradition as soon as possible. – Sayak Dubey
