READING MONTH: One of the many ways that Mrs. Stamos and Mr. Manting celebrate during Reading Month is to read to the 5th grade students throughout PCS. Last week they read “I Am One, A Book of Action” to the 5th graders at Starr and Gilkey Elementary Schools. As Principal and Assistant Principal at the Middle School, they enjoyed this time sharing information and answering questions. Next up, they will stop at Cooper Elementary to meet with the 5th grade Koalas!

PCS ROBOTICS: Saturday was another eventful day for several of the PCS robotics students. Our four Drone teams participated in the Second Annual Plainwell Robotics Club MS/HS RADC Tournament, and one of our middle school robotics teams participated in the MS VRC Tipping Point Michigan State Championships held at Monroe County Community College. Team W.H.A.M. received a late invitation to the State event because of the high Skills score they had recorded at an earlier event. They placed 22nd in a field of 33 after the qualifying rounds, and were invited to join the 12th place alliance, which lost in the round of sixteen to the eventual tournament finalists. Their season is not over, however. After receiving the Design Award (a major award in VEX Robotics) at a tournament earlier this season, they have been invited to participate in the 2022 CREATE U.S. Open Robotics Championship in Council Bluffs, Iowa at the end of March. Congratulations to these talented and dedicated robotics students and their coaches. Plainwell Pride!

During the event, daughters and their chaperones enjoyed an evening at PCS filled with games, glamour & glitter! The special event included: glitter tattoos, a nickname game, dance lessons, a photo booth, lots of give-aways and formal pictures. The evening also had a few special guests, as Plainwell High School's Competitive Cheer team led group dances on stage and Becky Howrigan documented the special evening with formal pictures. What a special day it was for those that attended, from sweets and treats, to pictures, glitter and fun, it was a great time for the PCS daughters and their dates. A very special thank you to all that participated in making this such a wonderful day! Plainwell Pride!
