Big cheers to our amazing Grades 2–4 spellers! 🎉📚 Our annual Spelling Bee was buzzing with talent, bravery, and some seriously impressive word skills—and we’re so proud of everyone who stepped up to the mic!

A huge shoutout to Arlo Radvansky (2nd grade) for taking the crown as our overall winner—way to go! 🏆✨

Spelling Bee participation is totally optional, which makes it even cooler to see so many students practicing at home, building their skills, and showing the courage to shine in the spotlight. That’s a win in itself! 💪🌟

2nd Grade Stars:
Jaxon Barrett, Charlotte Miller, Kameran Kirk, Amelia VerVelde, Colton Butler (3rd Place), Yvette Kokx (2nd Place), and Arlo Radvansky (1st Place)

3rd Grade Standouts:
Adeline Ustick, Violet Reid, Ellis Jaeb, Keaton Bigsby, Grayson Adams, Camden Jobbins (3rd Place), Anika Acuna (2nd Place), and Alona DeVries (1st Place)

4th Grade Champions:
Alex Hughart, Waylon Grondsma, Scarlett Rodgers, Maci Ford, Lilly Cross, Harris Powers, Elin Orde (3rd Place), Eveliina Kainulainen (2nd Place), and Cora VanDuinen (1st Place)

Whether you took home a trophy or simply took on the challenge, every single participant should feel proud. You showed confidence, determination, and a love for learning—and that’s what it’s all about! 💙👏

Way to go, spellers! Keep shining! ✨

Pentwater Falcon softball kicked off the season with a double-header against the Brethren Bobcats. In Game One, Pentwater strung together a number of patient at-bats, setting the table for a few crucial hits. Karina Olivarez led the way, going 2-for-3 with 3 RBIs. In the bottom of the third, Grace Riggs blasted a ball over the left fielder’s head, scoring Lauren Davis all the way from first after her sharp single to start the inning. These runs proved to be enough as Aubrie Adams took control, striking out six batters while only walking two.

Final Score of Game One: Pentwater 9, Brethren 5

The Falcons fell behind early in Game Two after Brethren took advantage of a few fielding miscommunications. Pentwater surged back late, putting pressure on the Bobcats in the later innings. Amelia Barter led the offensive charge, lacing two sharp singles through the left side. On defense, Bella Oviedo made a fine catch in the outfield, going back to her left and bringing momentum back to the Falcons. Even with the late-inning comeback, the Falcons were unable to escape the early hole.

Final Score of Game Two: Pentwater 12, Brethren 14

Our March is Reading Month celebration assembly was a fun and entertaining way to wrap up a fantastic month of reading! Several lucky students had their reading tickets drawn and were able to choose books and prizes. Mr. Barter and Mrs. Patterson even “flew” across the gym with a little help from students—what a memorable moment! Team Barter won by a mere Falcon feather.

Great job, Pentwater Falcons, for your dedication to reading all month long. Now let’s keep that momentum going—read all year long!
