Residents of Council Grove and the Flint Hills area will have a frontrow seat to a total lunar eclipse in the early hours of March 14, 2025. This rare occurrence will provide skywatchers with a breathtaking view of the Moon turning a deep red hue—a phenomenon often called a “Blood Moon.”

Prairie Heights Elementary School, with the implementation of the Twister Thrift Shop, has changed to a monthly Terrific Twister. PHES principal Angela Harris said, “Students have the opportunity to put tokens into the Terrific Twister drawing. Kresten Armbrust, 3rd grade, is the PHES Terrific Twister for February. Armbrust’s hobby is drawing and his biggest dream is to be an artist. What he likes most about school is the report he is doing now. When asked to tell us three awesome things about himself he said he is kind of funny, he admits he is weird and he can mostly listen in class. We think Kresten is terrific!”
