The 2025 Platte River Academy Governing Board elections are here! For the 2025 year, there will be TWO open positions on the Governing Board and we would like to solicit your help.

What do you need to do to take this courageous step? The process and timing is as follows:

Complete a submission form by: March 28th, 2025.
This submission form will include a candidate profile and you will receive a follow-up contact from a Governing Board Member to complete a video on April 7, 2025.
A short video will be shared with the school community prior to the election on April 14th, 2025.
Voting takes place from April 21 - April 27,2025.
Results will be communicated to the candidates and then made public by May 1, 2025.

To take the first step, follow the above link to the submission form or email board@prak8.org.

Please donate any and all boxes of cereal to PRA. Accepting cereal from March 3rd-March 13th. All cereal after the domino event will be donated to a local food bank!!!!
PRA is going to have the biggest domino event you’ve ever seen. Instead of dominoes, we’re going to be using your donated cereal boxes, and instead of a table we’re going to be using the hallways through the school. We want this event to be big, and you can help us by donating an unopened box of cereal over the next 10 days!
