During her junior year at PHS, student Sadie Boven, completed a captivating wall mural at Plainwell Middle School. The mural is prominently showcased in the hall of the science wing at PMS. Sadie's artwork encompasses sections dedicated to science, math, social studies and English. She attributes her inspiration to Mrs. Beltowski, “who encourages my creativity and inspires me to be bold and colorful”. Sadie's remarkable artistic skills have left a lasting impression, and we are grateful that she has shared her talents for everyone to appreciate at the Middle School for many years to come - Trojan Pride!
