PJSD Families-

Happy October, everyone! It's amazing to think that we are already six weeks into our school year, and have enjoyed/survived the excitement of another homecoming:)

We hope that you were able to participate in one or more of the homecoming activities during the first week of October. While there were many highlights throughout the week, perhaps nothing illustrates the bond between the school district and community more than the homecoming parade. Our thanks to everyone who was part of the parade - and to the spectators who cheered throughout.

Congratulations to Gerry Krebsbach for being inducted into the PHS Alumni Hall of Fame. Mr. Krebsbach was a 1972 graduate of Plymouth High School, and went on to serve as president of KW Electric and as a mentor with Royal Rangers. Gerry has sponsored more than 150 electrical apprentices over the years, and continues to give back to his community in many ways.

Be sure to check out our "Upcoming Events" section below, as we are beginning to see student concerts, plays and performances show up on our activities calendar. Show up to support our kids and programs - while being thoroughly entertained along the way.

Finally, we continue to seek to fill various positions within the district. Please check out the "PJSD Employment Opportunities" section below and help spread the word to those who would like to be a part of the Plymouth Joint School District family.

As always, thanks for all that you do to support our schools and community... and for entrusting us with the education of your child.

Be well, and Go Panthers!
