Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Plymouth Yearbook

Please help Plymouth High School celebrate this event by purchasing a Plymouth Yearbook. Seniors who purchase a yearbook and have their head and shoulders portraits taken by Thursday, September 10th (a rescheduled date) will be entered in the drawing to win $200.

The senior head and shoulder portraits with Ron Zimmerman will be taken during periods 3 and 4 and the cost is $10. This payment is a fund raiser for the yearbook staff and ensures that seniors will be pictured in the yearbook and in the local newspaper at graduation. Seniors are reminded to dress appropriately and look their best.

Menominee Elementary and Washington Elementary

Once again, Plymouth elementary schools have been honored as the top Title I schools in the State of Indiana. Plymouth received word yesterday that both Menominee and Washington Elementary Schools are in the top 7 for Title I School of the Year. Both were chosen for closing the achievement gap in the sub-group populations. This means that all sub-groups in their schools are achieving. Both principals will undergo a telephone interview. After the telephone interview, several schools will be chosen to have an on-site interview. Once the interview is completed, the top school will be chosen.

This year the top Title I school will be honored in Washington DC at the National Title I Conference. This is the same award that Webster Elementary received last year.

Great job Menominee and Washington!
