GIVING BACK: Over the last few weeks, the school buildings throughout the district participated in collecting items for the Plainwell Volunteer Christmas Project. Thank you to all that donated to help make this a successful project for families in our community!
In the Middle School, the Student Council coordinated loading up the donations to deliver to the Christmas Project and the National Junior Honor Society helped sort and package the donations to deliver to families. It was amazing to see our students come together to lend a hand during the holiday season - Trojan Pride!
HOLIDAY MUSIC: It was a fun morning at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as the Middle and High School Choirs performed for the students. The performance included a number of classic holiday songs, as well as a few special appearances. It was a fun morning for all the students and the smiles were priceless! Great job to the Choir program for providing this festive and fun program for our K-5 students!
