Board Member Spotlight: Meet Pat Twenter
Hello, my name is Patrick Twenter and I am the President of the Prairie Home RV School. I was born and raised in Boonville where I attended Saint Peter and Paul School K-8 and the graduated from Boonville High School.
I am married to Holly Graff, a 1992 graduate of Prairie home. We have 3 children. Brendan,Ashlyn and Chandler. Ashlyn was a 2020 graduate of Prairie Home and Chandler is a Freshman at Prairie Home. Things we enjoy doing as a family are taking trips to Springfield MO to visit Brendan as well as trips to Peoria Illinois to visit Ashlyn and her fiancé, Reece Clapp. Also Chandler and I enjoy hunting, shooting sports and fixing up two 1954 pickups we have.
As for the question of, Why I wanted to be a Board Member? The answer is, I did not. I was asked by a sitting Board Member to file as a candidate due to the lack of interest from members of the district. Soon after being elected I quickly grew a passion for education and wanting to ensure students of our district and surrounding districts had the best education and activities we could provide.
I have enjoyed and appreciated my time on the Board and everyone I have worked with to make Prairie Home RV the BEST school for a students education.
Thanks Pat!
Board Member Spotlight: Meet Dennis Toalson
I am a retired high school teacher, have managed a 10,000 sow operation in Nebraska, owned my own feed and seed operation in Nebraska, and taught Agriculture in a Nebraska college for 20 years. I live in Prairie Home with my wife Bobette. We have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. We love to travel, and I enjoy working with young people as I officiate softball and baseball games.
I wanted to become a board member because young people are important to this country and I like to help them succeed. We have a really good education system here and I am privileged to help it keep going and improve it. My wife and I like being involved in the community and helping young people. What a great place to live!
Thanks Dennis
