So much holiday fun! The classrooms at Starr Elementary were filled with lots of festivities leading up to break. From a visit from an elf, to reindeer games, to cookie decorating, to special arts and crafts, the Rock Starrs were all smiles!
The Lifelong Learners had a great time at their 2023 Holiday Celebration! From cookie decorating, to snacks and conversation, to a viewing of the 2023 Winter Spectrum Musicale, they all enjoyed a fun afternoon at the PAC. Thank you to all that joined us for this festive event.

The 3rd grade students at Gilkey Elementary had so much fun creating gingerbread houses. They were so creative with this holiday project - way to go Geckos! 🎄
We wrapped up our holiday performances at the Plainwell Performing Arts Center at the 2023 PHS Winter Spectrum Musicale Concert. The evening was filled with outstanding performances by the PHS Choir and Band departments. It was a wonderfully festive and special evening, which included a tribute to Ms. Beauchamp who will be leaving PCS after ten years as the High School Choir Director. She took her final bow as the Director at the PAC, which was filled with her past and present students singing together one last time to honor the impact she’s had on their lives. It was an unforgettable evening - special thanks to the students, Ms. Beauchamp, Mr. Hepinstall and Mr. Rushford for another phenomenal evening at the PAC!

The Starr Elementary first graders from Mrs. Gonyeau’s class teamed up with their Book Buddies from Mrs. Pelc's fifth grade class to make Christmas cards for residents at the Life Care Center in Plainwell. They had a lot of fun working together, all while learning the importance of giving back to our amazing community! 💙
Happy 3rd Birthday to Plainwell High Schools’ therapy dog, Pyp! She has been a great addition at PHS, providing lots of support to the Trojans. 🐾💙🐾
Throughout the district, students brought in donations to support the 2023 Plainwell Volunteer Christmas Project. At Cooper, they celebrated their top donating class, Ms. Wright’s fifth graders, with a donut in party. As a class, they brought in 471 items for the food drive, which was the most in Cooper’s upper elementary. Way to go, Koalas!
