Dear WinkWorld Readers,
As I shared in the previous blog post, we are working on Prairie Pedagogy. Our purpose is to save the stories and the history. Missy Urbaniak, the teacher at Atall School, has already prepared the history, and selected sections will be each chapter. In addition, we have more stories prepared than we can possibly use, but here is a peak into some of the stories which might make the cut.
We appreciate the help of Wynn Wink in the preparation of the manuscript.
Below on the left is the enrollment of Atall 2012-2013, and on the right is that of 2023-2024.
