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!
