Prairie Trail Dads Fire Up the Grill for Game Day Tailgate!

By Aaron Niemeier

What an incredible night at Prairie Trail! Our Father’s Club chapter stepped up big time for the September 17th tailgate before our 8th graders took on Chisholm Trail MS at College Boulevard Activity Center. The smell of grilled hotdogs filled the air as we fired up the grills and served up 350 hotdogs to fuel our amazing pep club, band, choir, and 7th grade football team.

But this wasn’t just about the food; it was about community. Both schools came together with T-shirt sales and fundraising efforts that raised money for Folds of Honor, showing what happens when communities unite for a great cause.

Huge shoutout to our grilling heroes: Chad Boling, Andrew Harwell, Sean Hedenskog, John Kohler, and Aaron Niemeier. These dads showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and made sure everyone was well-fed and ready to cheer on our Huskies!

Watching our students’ faces light up as they enjoyed their meal before the big game reminded us why we do this. It’s about building memories, supporting our kids, and strengthening our Prairie Trail family.

Thanks to everyone who made this night special. What a fantastic way to show our Husky pride!
