READING MONTH: One of the many ways that Mrs. Stamos and Mr. Manting celebrate during Reading Month is to read to the 5th grade students throughout PCS.  Last week they read “I Am One, A Book of Action” to the 5th graders at Starr and Gilkey Elementary Schools. As Principal and Assistant Principal at the Middle School, they enjoyed this time sharing information and answering questions. Next up, they will stop at Cooper Elementary to meet with the 5th grade Koalas!


GILKEY GECKO FIELD TRIP: The fourth graders from Gilkey Elementary took a field trip to Lansing last week to visit the Capitol and Historical Museum. They got to see Youth in Government (high school students from across the state) in action in the Senate and House! Some of them even got to walk on the Senate floor and meet Senator Tom Barrett! Such a meaningful learning event for everyone!
