Recently, all three 4th grade classes from Starr Elementary took field trips to Lansing where they visited the Michigan History Museum and the Michigan State Capitol Building. Their visits were filled with facts about Michigan’s history and government. Several students even had the opportunity to meet State Representative Matt Hall. These field trips provided many amazing experiences and phenomenal learning opportunities for the Rock Starrs!
Special thanks to Matt Hall and his office for taking the time to meet our Starr fourth graders - it made for an extra special visit to the Capitol!
As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow (Friday, April 28). Have a great weekend! Go Trojans!

Earlier this week, the Starr Elementary Parent's Club sponsored the March Student of the Month Breakfast. Each month, Starr teachers select one student who they felt did an outstanding job throughout the month. In March, the students who were selected did an awesome job being trustworthy. Way to go, Rock Starrs!
Students in Mrs. Miller’s 2nd grade class at Starr Elementary had some fun during their March Reading Madness! 🏀 Throughout the month, they had a special reading project and it was a slam dunk. Each student in the class selected one of the basketball teams to research. They located the city/state to compare where it was in relation to Plainwell, they graphed the different types of mascots and designed jerseys for their team. The Final Four teams are pictured with their “jerseys”. What a fun project for reading month - you are all MVPs!
Bond construction continues at the Trojan Pool and Gymnasium. Over the last two weeks, we watched as the walls started to go up. So many great things are ahead at PCS!
As a reminder, our live feed video is available to watch the construction project progress. Visit plainwellschools.org and scroll to “BOND” to view the video.

The Rock Starrs at Starr Elementary had many special readers this week. A couple highlights include:
-In Mrs. Mudget’s Kindergarten class, Mr. Joshua Amaezechi read A is for Africa. Their class just started a unit on cultures around the world, so the students were able to learn about the country he grew up in - Nigeria! It was an awesome way to celebrate reading month and learn about different cultures from people who live in our community!
-In Mrs. Heise’s third grade class, Officer Danielle, the police captain and firefighter for Kalamazoo Public Safety, read to the students. She shared two stories, answered questions and provided students with a donut treat and firefighter hat!
What a great experience for our Rock Starrs - special thanks to Mr. Amaezechi and Officer Danielle! We appreciate all our special readers throughout the district who have supported reading month!
More reading month fun - special thanks to the 8th graders in Mrs. Macklin’s class who read to the 2nd graders in Mrs. VanGoeye’s class at Starr. It was great fun for all!
