Good morning, Pine River Area Community:
We wanted to give some clarification regarding the budget reduction plan that has been
removed from tonight’s agenda. These are big decisions that affect our community as a
whole and the lives of many. The Board feels that it needs additional time to consider
the proposed recommendations. So, no action will take place this evening. Instead, a
special meeting will be held next week (TBD at tonight’s meeting) where the board will
act. We do however encourage you to attend tonight’s meeting where we will recognize
our Class of 2025 Honor Graduates and as always, there will be time set aside for
public comment.
Sincerely,
Kevin Delancey, PRAS Board President
Michelle Gill, Superintendent

This is a great opportunity to connect with other parents and caregivers!

Today our Osceola Youth Advisory Committee members spent the day doing their annual service project. This year the project was in Reed City helping the Rotary Club clean and prep their flower boxes for the summer. They also brought home the #1 fundraiser trophy for the second year in a row. The money they raise goes back into the community by assisting youth programs with funding for their projects! Way to go OYAC!

Due to weather conditions Varsity Baseball and Softball vs Hart scheduled for tonight has been CANCELED. Varsity teams will practice indoors immediately after school. JV baseball will not practice tonight.

At Pine River Area Schools, we operate under safety first and in our efforts to follow our protocol, a student's face was blocked that didn't need to be, due to a no media designation still in PowerSchool. We apologize to the family and will continue to work at keeping our students safe. Thank you.
Pine River had approximately 23 senior students attend the annual Governor's Breakfast this morning in Cadillac. Rep. Tom Kunse was also in attendance. Our very own Evelyn Emertt was able to ask Gov. Whitmer a question regarding education. The Annual Governor’s Breakfast is a ceremonial tradition of hosting the Governor for 47 years in the Cadillac Area. Former PR teacher, Mr. Buckmaster, was also in attendance.
