Boys State Basketball Pep Bus Announcement

As most of you know, our boys’ basketball team officially advanced to the state tournament last night. We are incredibly proud of the team, but since the game kicks off in Des Moines at 12:15 PM on Tuesday, March 10, we have a few logistical updates regarding attendance and transportation.

Game Day Attendance: If you plan on attending the game to cheer on the team, a parent or guardian must call the office to notify us of your absence.

Transportation: Pep Bus Details: Because the 12:15 PM start time conflicts with our afternoon bus routes, we cannot use standard school buses. Instead, the school is offering a charter bus option. To cover the cost of the charter, the pricing is as follows:

  • Pep Bus Seat: $30- cash or check made out to Prairie HS
  • Game Ticket: $12 – Purchase here
  • Lunch: On your own at the Casey’s Center (no stops will be made on the buses)
  • Departure: The bus leaves at 9:45 AM on Tuesday, March 10.
  • Return: The bus will depart Des Moines immediately following the game.
  • Sign Up Deadline:  If you want to ride the pep bus you will need to pay $30, cash or check made out to Prairie HS, in the office by Thursday, March 5th by 3:15 p.m.
