Hailey (8th Grade): Hailey has such a compassionate heart for her classmates. She does not hesitate to jump in to help peers when they are struggling in class. Not only does she offer support, but she is their cheerleader too, encouraging and celebrating once they understand the information.
Essie (7th Grade): Essie is a wonderful student who exemplifies Plainwell PRIDE. She works hard, holds herself to a high standard, and is always willing to help others. Essie can always be counted on to give her best, and help others achieve their goals. She is very deserving of being recognized for student of the week.
Shane (6th Grade:) Shane always brings a positive attitude to class! He is very eager to learn new things and is always asking great questions. Shane's leadership in class often inspires others in class to join in on classroom discussions.
