Please see the attached Pentwater Service Club brochure, we love our Pentwater community!
If you see students around town today, they are participating in our 16th Annual Community Pride Day! Our students need to accrue 40 community pride hours for graduation and we provide a day, every spring, where they can earn hours by helping different groups in our community. You will see students at the Artisan Center, Charles Mears State Park, VFW Hall, Park Place and pathway, Pentwater Museum, Methodist Church, Pentwater Township Library, various village gardens, Township office, Channel Lane Park, the school as well as private residences. We thank all of the community groups and individuals that help to direct the students in this needed work prior to our busy summer months and we thank the kids for having an awesome attitude while giving back to our beloved Pentwater! It's a great day to be a Falcon!

On Thursday, May 13th, 2021, the HS Band virtually welcomed Chicago based clarinetist, Ms. Jade Garcia, into the band room. Ms. Garcia is an avid performer, educator, and advocate for music education. She holds a bachelors degree in clarinet performance from the University of Colorado Boulder and a masters degree in clarinet performance from Roosevelt University's Chicago College of the Performing Arts.
Ms. Garcia presented students with performance clips of her work and spoke to her experiences in the music industry as a professional musician. The majority of our time together was Q&A with Ms. Garcia and students. Students asked about studying music in college, finding jobs in the industry, the importance of a life/work balance, the art of listening and musical interpretation, and life after high school in general.
Thank you, Ms. Garcia for such an engaging, thoughtful, and intentional time with us - your performances and conversation were truly inspiring!
