Hello Pentwater Readers, remember to join us at the Pentwater Township Library today for the fun Summer Open House!
Congratulations to Niko Kainulainen for winning the bike through the Win With Wellness Fit Club. Students are encouraged to participate in the 100 Mile Challenge where they record 100 miles of activity during the school year (one hour of activity is equivalent to one mile). Those who complete all 100 miles are entered into a drawing for a bicycle with one winner being chosen at each school! "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." - Albert Einstein
Congratulations and good luck to Nathan Macher and golf coach, Alicia Kolenda, as Nathan participates in the MHSAA state finals in golf on Friday, 6/6, and Saturday, 6/7! Our golf team had a phenomenal season and the team received a letter from Senator Jon Bumstead who congratulated the entire team on their success and lauded their determination and hard work to achieve success in the future! Your PHS family is proud of your accomplishments and the most important shot in golf is the next one!
Congratulations to our elementary students of the month for May 2025, pictured with Supt. Barter and Asst. Principal Oleneack: Quinn Case (KG); Amberlyn Monday (1st); Isla Mitchell (2nd); Edie Mazur (3rd); Avalon Hurst (4th); Anderson Barter (5th); and, Sierra Stein (6th)! Well done, Falcon learners, and remember to read a lot of books over your summer vacation!
BOOKS FOR THE BEACH (or hammock, camper, porch, etc.) Mrs. Voss has been thrilled to receive an abundance of book donations over the last few years, so she invited elementary students to choose up to 5 books each to take home and enjoy. The hope is that the children will continue reading throughout the summer. Have fun and be creative with the places you choose to read at. A special thank you to all who have donated books! 505 books are on their way to new homes.
Fitness Center Summer Hours: Beginning Monday, 6/9, the fitness center summer hours are Monday thru Thursday, 6am - 12pm, excluding July 4 (or otherwise posted).
PPS thanks our local Falcon alumni-owned ice cream parlor and restaurant, House of Flavors, for generously inviting all of our classes and students to make a trip to the ice cream store for a special end of the school year yummy treat! We thank all of our local businesses and business owners who generously support our students and district time and again; they are all amazing and we are so appreciative of this awesome community! Go Falcons!
