It was an outstanding season for Rocket Football at PCS. We had a total of 115 Rocket and 83 Flag football players. As a program, they finished the season with a 15-18-3 record. Throughout the season, athletes experienced significant learning and growth, with many celebrating milestones such as their first caught pass, first touchdown or first successful tackle. This season was a wonderful opportunity for our youngest Trojan football players to grow their love for the sport. We would like to extend our thanks to all the volunteer coaches for their time and dedication to growing Plainwell athletics. Congratulations to all our Rocket Football players and coaches for an incredible season - PLAINWELL PRIDE!
Looking ahead, the 6th grade Rocket Football players will conclude their season with an exciting game against Otsego at Waldo Stadium this weekend. GO TROJANS!

Recently, the Young 5 and Kindergarten classes from Cooper Elementary enjoyed a trip to Gull Meadow Farms. They spent the day picking apples and learning about them while also having fun in the farmyard activity area. This wonderful experience served as a fantastic introduction to their upcoming math and science unit focused on apples! 🍎🍏
