Recently, Chief Callahan from Plainwell Public Safety and PCS’ Resource Officer Mr. Farris, gave a presentation on cell phone and online safety to our 7th/8th graders. They shared great information about online safety and the digital footprint that exists for everyone. In addition, they shared the consequences of sharing/receiving inappropriate pictures and the long term impact it can have for those that engage in exchanging pictures. We appreciate the support from Chief Callahan and Officer Farris in educating our students to ensure they are aware of these issues and consequences.
As we approach Friday and the end of another school week, we wanted to share some progress pictures of the new Trojan pool and gymnasium project. During construction this week, they filled the pool tank with dirt. This part of the process both protects the tank and allows for safer processes over the tank in terms of scaffolding for upcoming metal and roofing work.
Want to check-in on the construction progress? We now have a live feed on our website to view the construction project. Visit plainwellschools.org and scroll to “BOND” to view the live feed video.
