The Plainwell Middle School ECO Club has been hard at work making the courtyards a great space for students to learn. This fall, Total Property Management Group of Plainwell donated 15 cubic yards of wood chips to help maintain the courtyards. Students have worked long hours to move the wood chips from the outside of the building into the space. The east courtyard was finished this week and next up, they plan to start on the west courtyard. Way to go, Trojans!
A very big THANK YOU to Total Property Management for your donation, we greatly appreciate your support! Plainwell Pride!
