What a FUN day in second grade!! 💙
The excitement was unreal when the second graders realized some of Plankinton High School’s track STARS were there to sign the hats they painted for Track & Field Day! The smiles, squeals, and excitement filled the room from start to finish. 🏃♂️✨
A HUGE thank you to Mr. Bruinsma and all of the volunteers for making this day so special for our students — it’s a memory they will not forget! 🥰

Mrs. Olsen’s 5th Grade classroom has officially transformed into Camp Learned-A-Lot! 🏕️✨
Our classroom is now complete with a giant tent, glowing “stars,” and all the sounds of nature to create the ultimate camping experience!
Today, students worked together to establish cabin names, create cabin chants, practice Reader’s Theater performances, and even enjoyed S’Mores cereal for snack! 🍫🔥🥣
This afternoon, campers are hard at work reviewing metric conversions, wrapping up end-of-the-year reflections, and preparing to present their Reader’s Theater performances later today.
We’re looking forward to an exciting week ahead with a visit from local conservation officer Lynn Geuke, kickball at the ball fields, a golf course scavenger hunt, fishing at Jail Pond, and many more camp-themed adventures! 🎣⛳⚾
As our students prepare to leave the elementary side, we want to make these final memories meaningful, engaging, and unforgettable. ❤️

Come celebrate two educators whose dedication has shaped generations of students in countless ways.
After 40 years with the district, Jill Harris has made a difference in the lives of so many students and staff. Her dedication, support, and impact will be remembered for years to come.
We also honor Ellen Hohbach whose 30 years of dedication, leadership, and care have made a lasting impact on our students and community.
Together, they have devoted a combined 70 years of impacting students' lives. Their influence reaches far beyond the classroom.
Please join us in congratulating them on their well-earned retirement and thanking them for their service. We wish them both happiness, relaxation, and many exciting adventures in their next chapter!

We're a small school with a welcoming, community feel—but just a short drive from bigger towns, so you still get access to all the perks. If you're looking for a place where you can build strong relationships, make a real impact, and enjoy a balanced lifestyle, this is it. Come join us—we’d love to have you!
