Only 329 lbs. away from our first new bench! Buildings throughout the district have partnered with NexTrex to recycle 1,000 lbs of plastic. Please bring plastic grocery bags that are clean, dry and free of food residue to bins at the front vestibule of the High School, Middle School, Plainwell Corners, PCS Administration Building, Renaissance High School, Cooper, Gilkey & Starr to help support the recycling challenge. For each 1,000 lbs. that are collected, buildings will earn a new NexTrex bench! GO TROJANS!
As we begin to utilize the new Field House for practices and competitions, please review these important parking and drop-off/pick-up procedures. Your cooperation in following these guidelines is greatly appreciated, ensuring that everyone can arrive at events safely and receive the necessary assistance.
- The small front parking lot is designated for handicapped parking only! Please keep this area available for those who require it.
- Athletes MUST use the student parking lot (senior lot) located in front of the High School during and after the school day. Parking between Starr Elementary and the High School is not permitted, as this area experiences heavy bus traffic during school hours. After school, this lot becomes crowded with spectators for Middle School athletic events. PLEASE park in the front student parking lot!
- Parents/Guardians may drop off athletes in the front or along the north side of the building. Parents/Guardians, PLEASE DO NOT park in the front parking lot while waiting for your athlete. If you need to wait, please use the lot between the cafeteria and Starr Elementary (old pool parking lot) or the student parking lot across from the Field House.
- During games, you may drop off any spectators needing assistance in the small front parking lot, but then please park in the front student parking lot.
We're excited to be in the Plainwell Field House and are incredibly grateful to our community for your support to build such a remarkable facility - PLAINWELL PRIDE!
