Students at Prairie Hill participate in practical work in their
classrooms, school and in the community.
Every class participates in chores in the classroom and on the school
grounds to keep the building and grounds beautiful. In the upper
grades community service projects provide them with opportunities
to increase their awareness of responsibility to the greater community.  There
are many opportunities for students to participate in projects of
their own design and creation that reinforce their feeling of confidence
in their abilities. In working with their own hands they realize
the fruits of their labors and show pride in their craftsmanship.
In the handwork curriculum, students begin finger knitting in kindergarten,
knit scarves in first grade, mittens in fourth and socks in fifth.
Crocheting, cross-stitching and sewing garments on treadle machines
expand students’ handwork skills and practical abilities.
