Good luck to the Girls Swim and Dive team as they travel to Otsego Friday and Saturday for their Conference Championship Meet! Let’s go Trojans! 👏🏼
The Young 5 students at Cooper Elementary have been keeping busy this fall. In math and science, they have been working on a unit with pumpkins and leaves. This unit introduced them to lessons in counting, sorting, patterning, graphing and measuring! Additionally, the students have become familiar with all the Alpha Friends (letters and sounds). To celebrate their achievement, they recently enjoyed reading the story “Chica Chica Boom Boom,” creating alphabet crowns and eating ABC “SpaghettiOs”! Keep working hard, Koalas, we are proud of you!
The PHS Varsity Volleyball team beat Hastings 3-0 tonight to punch their ticket to the District Championship game. Next up, the Trojans will take on Otsego tomorrow night at 6:00 PM at Otsego. LET’S GO TROJANS! 🏐👏🏼
Congratulations to Maristella Cassada, Olivia Jankowski and Estephanie Matias on their audition, acceptance and performance in yesterday's MSBOA District XI Middle School Honors Band! Estephanie sat principal (first chair) of her section and both Maristella and Olivia sat principal (first chair) of the second part of their sections!
These students went above and beyond to not only learn their Plainwell band music, but also put in extra time practicing their honor band music. They spent all day at Marshall HS with Mrs. Lori VonKoenig (retired music educator from Stevensville Lakeshore and recipient of the MSBOA Teacher of the Year) playing with other students from Kalamazoo, Branch, St. Joseph, Calhoun and Allegan counties. The performance was absolutely wonderful and we are so proud of these star musicians!
Please mark your calendar for the upcoming Winter Band Concerts on December 3 (6th and 7th Grade) and December 12 (8th Grade).
Yesterday, the Middle School students took part in a mock election. This provided a fantastic learning opportunity for the Trojans to understand the voting process.

Thank you to the community for voting yesterday. Unfortunately, the Plainwell Community Schools 2024 revised bond proposal was not approved by voters. We will continue to evaluate and pursue all options to address our district needs. Please stay tuned.
Students in Ms. Pierce’s 4th grade class at Gilkey Elementary had an Election Day filled with various activities. Their day included "registering" to vote (making voter registration cards), participating in a mock election, creating "I voted" stickers and writing to share their ideas "If I Were President..." This experience provided a fantastic learning opportunity for these 4th grade students on Election Day. 🇺🇸

🎺 CONGRATULATIONS to the Trojan Marching Band for their outstanding performance at the State Championship held at Ford Field this past Saturday! The TMB delivered their best show of the season - securing 7th place, just shy of 6th by a mere 0.05 points!
A special shout-out goes to this year’s senior class, who have successfully reached the state finals every year of their high school journey - an achievement unmatched by any other Plainwell senior class since the mid-90s. Way to go TMB, PLAINWELL PRIDE! 👏🏼
Our elementary classes had so much fun celebrating Halloween! Students had lots of fun while enjoying various activities and treats. We hope our students, staff and families had a safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃
PHS Junior, Aidan Ranger, competed in the MIHA (Michigan Interscholastic Horse Association) State Championship Meet recently at the Midland County Fairgrounds where he tied for 4th place in Division D. It was an exciting competition and a valuable experience for Aidan! Congratulations – PLAINWELL PRIDE!
The Gilkey students and staff had so much fun at their annual Halloween Costume Parade. The weather cooperated and allowed the Geckos to have a great time celebrating together this afternoon. A special thank you to Plainwell Public Safety and everyone who came out to support this fun Gilkey tradition. 🎃
Last week, Cooper Elementary held their Monster Mash event. It was an awesome outdoor evening for a costume party as our families enjoyed trick or treating, food trucks, games and lots of Halloween fun! Thank you to all that organized, planned and joined in the fun at the 2024 Monster Mash! 🎃
As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow (Friday, November 1). We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday, November 4.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN and have a great weekend! GO TROJANS!
