Mrs. Schwanekamp's 4th Grade class participated in the Heart and Sole Shoe Drive and helped Guilford Elementary collect 646 pairs of shoes!
The Heart and Sole Shoe Drive was sponsored by Hendricks County Solid Waste Management and Changing Footprints, and was designed to keep shoes out of landfills while redistributing them to homeless, disaster-stricken, or underprivileged people.
We are so proud of these students and their helping hearts!
This week, students in Biomedical Sciences classes engaged in "Stop the Bleed" training, led by Mary McAdams (mother of BioMed teachers Mrs. Townsend and Mr. McAdams). These students learned how long it can take someone to bleed out and how to provide potentially life-saving triage to trauma patients while waiting for the paramedics to arrive.

Congratulations to PHS Assistant Principal, Michael Menser, on being named to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Silver Anniversary Team!
As a 1997 Indiana All-Star and Mr. Basketball runner-up, Menser set school records at Batesville High School with 1,700 career points, 414 assists and an 87% free-throw percentage. His team, coached by former Plainfield High School principal Mel Siefert, won four conference and four sectional titles, one regional title and the 1996 Hall of Fame Classic.
He went on to play at Indiana State where, as a four-year starter, he scored 1,301 points and set the school record with 283 three-pointers. He also was part of the team’s NCAA tournament berths in 2000 and 2001.
Many Hoosiers may remember him for the 2001 game against IU when he scored two threes in the waning seconds of the game to give the Sycamores the victory. See those shots here: https://youtu.be/-c5wQK1EgRc
Congratulations, Mr. Menser!
