GO TROJANS!! 💙⚽️

We are excited to share the Plainwell Middle School Students of the Week! We are proud of your hard work and dedication. Way to go, Trojans!
Blake (8th Grade): Blake is always showing PRIDE and can be counted on to be a leader! He's a great role model for others and works very hard in class. Blake sees school as an opportunity and continues to be the best version of himself everyday.
Rylee (7th Grade): Rylee is a wonderful leader in all of her classes. She can be counted on to always show Plainwell PRIDE by encouraging others and setting a good example. Super creative, Rylee often takes work home to continue to spend time on it, making sure what she turns in is her 100% best effort.
Wyatt (6th Grade): Wyatt is super friendly and nice to everyone. Transitioning to Middle School is tough and it takes guts to be as outgoing as Wyatt is. He works very hard, helps without being asked, and can always be counted on to be doing the right thing.
Throughout the year, we look forward to continuing to share our outstanding Middle School Students of the Week! GO TROJANS!
Special thanks to our Student of the Month sponsors: Fly Inn, Mayor's Joint, Barbed Wire Cafe and Taqueria San Francisco. We greatly appreciate your support of PCS and our students - Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders!
