What a day! The 73rd Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade filled downtown with music, school spirit, and community pride this past weekend!

This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨

A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.

Students in Mrs. Noser's 2nd grade class squeezed toothpaste onto some paper plates. As a team, they then tried to put the toothpaste back into the tube using only toothpicks. This SEL lesson teaches students that: once you say unkind words it’s hard to take them back.

Mrs. Stennett's class read the story Too Tall Houses and decided to take on the challenge! Students went to work with nothing but index cards and tape. They found their grit as towers toppled over falling flat. After trying new idea after new idea we came out with a winning 1.5 ft tall tower! What a fun way to make a book come alive!
