About Prairie Winds Orff
The Prairie Winds Orff Chapter was founded in 1979 by Sister Millicent Hinds, Sister Jeanette Hinds, and Teri Fay. We are dedicated Orff Schulwerk teachers in North Dakota. Our goal is to explore ways to create, sing, move, and play our way into the hearts of children through the use of Orff Schulwerk!
