Join us in supporting the Plainwell Robotics Club at their Dine-to-Donate fundraiser on Monday, April 13. Be sure to mark your calendars for dinner on the day we return from Spring Break at Plainwell Pizza Hut, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. A portion of all sales will support our fantastic Robotics program.
Before leaving for Spring Break, the PHS Multicultural Club dedicated time to give back by volunteering at the Deacons Conference, a project that was postponed from our MLK Day of Service in January.
Students gained valuable insight into the incredible support and services that the organization provides at no cost to individuals and families in need. They contributed by sorting and organizing clothing for the store and assisting with yard work to enhance the grounds. After their hard work, they enjoyed spending time together over lunch at a Hibachi Sushi buffet.
We’re proud of our students for representing PHS with compassion, teamwork and a commitment to service! 💙
Mrs. Pickett’s third-grade class at Gilkey Elementary dedicated their PE time to contribute to their school and the environment. They organized a trash pickup day around the building and in their beautiful nature lab and pond area.
After the cleanup, Ms. Abnet, the PE teacher, treated the students to Sweetwater’s donut holes. Fantastic job, Geckos!
Congratulations to the Middle School Robotics team called the "Blue Screen of Death" who presented the school with their State Trophies for their DESIGN AWARD and INNOVATIVE AWARD. Members of the state team are: Mason Potts, Liam Gault, Max McMeekan, Carter Palme and Leland Phinney. PLAINWELL PRIDE!
As a friendly reminder, there is no school from April 3-10 for Spring Break. Whether you are staying near or traveling far, we wish our students, staff and families a wonderful break! We look forward to welcoming the PCS students back to school on Monday, April 13.
Have a great Spring Break and GO TROJANS!
