Last week the Plainwell High School Red Cross Club held a blood drive where 33 units of blood were collected, which is enough to save 99 lives. The drive had five first time donors. Thank you to those that donated and to the Red Cross Club for your hard work in putting on this drive.

It was recently brought to our attention that there are social media accounts that were created impersonating Plainwell Community Schools. While these accounts appear to be affiliated with the district (our logo, contact information, slogan, recent posts, etc.), these accounts are not run by the district. Any new account requests or messages from these accounts are not being sent from the district and can be ignored.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Plainwell Community Schools! Go Trojans!

On Monday, 16 students from the Plainwell High School Multicultural Club had a "day on" instead of a "day off" in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During the day, the group participated in the City of Kalamazoo Community-Wide Day of Service to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King.
Their service project for the day was to volunteer at Grace Covenant Church, assisting in cleaning, organizing and yard work. They also participated in a march and attended a wreath laying ceremony at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Park along with the community and various dignitaries.
During the day, the students had the opportunity to meet the Mayor and City Manager of Kalamazoo, Dr. Edward Montgomery, President of Western Michigan University, as well as other prominent members of the community. PHS was well recognized for their actions in honoring Dr. King's life work of equality and justice for all people. Way to go, Trojans!

Way to go, Trojan Cheer - Plainwell Pride!
While the Plainwell students had the day off today, the PCS staff attended a special training. It's amazing to see our staff continuing their education to provide the very best for our students.

Thank you to the PCS staff for continually striving to provide the very best for Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders!
