Plainwell Community Schools - Today's Learners Tomorrow's Leaders

Three Plainwell Middle School students were recognized at the Plainwell Community Schools Board of Education meeting on May 19 for their quick action in assisting a bus driver with a medical emergency. The students immediately called 911, speaking with an emergency dispatcher and relaying vital information while other emergency personnel responded. Plainwell Community Schools would like to thank these students for their swift actions in assisting our driver.
