Plainwell Power had another great weekend at the Varsity State Championship where Ryan McDaniel, Kayla Baar and Emma Mulder represented Plainwell. Kayla finished in 12th place, Emma had a strong showing taking 6th and Ryan McDaniel took 4th place with a massive 540 pound deadlift to crack the top 5. We couldn't be prouder of all the Plainwell Power lifters this year. These student-athletes worked hard all season and represented Plainwell with great Trojan Pride! Year #1 ends with SIX state qualifiers and THREE state placers. We can’t wait to see this program grow in season #2. PLAINWELL STRONG! 💪

On May 7, 2024, PCS will be pursuing a bond proposal to continue to improve our facilities and prioritize the educational experiences of our students, families and staff. Do you have questions about the bond? For example:
Q. What is a bond proposal and how can we use bond funds?
A. A bond proposal is how a public school district asks its community for authorization to borrow money to pay for capital expenditures like new construction, additions, remodeling, site improvements, athletic facilities, playgrounds, buses, furnishings, equipment, and other capital needs.
We have additional bond information, as well as a list of answers to 30+ Frequently Asked Questions at www.plainwellschools.org/page/2024-bond.
