Youth Arts Month:
 
Plymouth Public School's annual Youth Art Month exhibit, featuring the work of local students opened Thursday, March 11, and runs through Sunday, March 21. On Thursday March 11th parents and students had the opportunity to get a preview of the show. The turnout was outstanding.
Thank you Plymouth Art Teachers for helping to make this a huge success.
 
Congratulations students for allowing the community to view your work.
 
PCIS National Junior Society takes the Plunge:
 
Congratulations to the PCIS National Junior Honor Society for their accomplishments at the Annual Jordan Hospital Polar Plunge. The PCIS National Junior Honor Society raised over $4,500 to benefit the Jordan Hospital Club Cancer Center. The PCIS National Honor Society also took home first place for most money raised by a middle school team. Congratulations and job well done!
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is an after school program established to recognize outstanding middle school students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. These students look to make a difference in our school and community. We are very proud of these students and we look forward to seeing the many amazing things they accomplish.
