We are so grateful to all who have served our country, protecting our many freedoms. On this day, if not every day, be sure to thank a veteran.
Nathan Harmon, @YourLifeSpeaks, is with us tonight, sharing his painful journey and hope for other families. His message is so important; if you couldn’t join us tonight, you can follow him on social media.
Final reminder for tonight's Community Forum featuring Nathan Harmon! Program begins at 6:30 at PHS. Nathan has walked the path, recovered and now helps students and families navigate the journey! Topics include depression, self-harm, addictions, and more.
Don't forget to change your clocks (and smoke alarm batteries) this weekend!
Let's fill the PHS Auditorium for nationally-acclaimed school speaker, Nathan Harmon, as he shares his personal and professional experiences. From suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, addictions and more, he will speak to adults about ways to support our kids in today's world.
Less than an hour at @CCQuakers this afternoon, and we found all sorts of cute, collaborative, learning and JOY happening with kindergarten and 1st grade students! @QuakersImagine

At last night's School Board meeting, we honored students from each school who were selected to best represent the September community value of Dignity and Self-Esteem. It is so powerful to hear the letters written by classmates and teachers for the nominations!
We may be competing for time with school events, the new Thursday night TV lineup and sporting events, but don't forget tonight's School Board meeting! 7 pm, Administration Building - enter Door #2!
What a great turnout for today’s Business & Community Leaders’ Luncheon! Thais is one of two times this year that we gather to share the successes of our school community with these leaders.

Just a few more days until this Fall's #QuakerConversations! Monday evening, 6 pm in the Administration Bldg (Door #2). Your chance to ask the School Board whatever it is that's on your mind. We sure hope you will join us!
Did you know? Our community value for October is Responsibility: accepting the consequences for one's behavior; acting honorably and fairly. #QuakerFaces #ThePlainfieldWay
We have a lot going on these days (not there is EVER really a slow time!), so I'm sharing two reminders at once. Tonight - Suicide Awareness discussion @ 6 pm; October 7 - Quaker Conversations with the board and administrators, also at 6 pm. Both at the Administration Building.
