Welcome to Prairie Winds!  I have been working here since 2008 and I am happy to be your child’s teacher.  In our autism classroom, we use the STAR curriculum which focuses on increasing student's language skills (receptive, expressive, and spontaneous language), functional routines, play and social concepts, and preacademic concepts.  We also work on increasing each student’s independent skills.  

The best way to contact me throughout the day is by email - jrace@lewispalmer.org.  If you need to reach me right away, please contact the office at 719-559-0800.  

On a personal note, I have twin sons who graduated from Palmer Ridge High School in 2017.  I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.

I can't wait to start a new school year with all of you!
