Better late than never. I was away from the office most of the week for work commitments, but I didn't want to miss the chance to celebrate our incredible leadership team for School Principals Day on May 1st. A massive thank you to our three dynamic building principals: Jeremy DeVos (K-3 Elementary School), Crystal Vanderhoof (4-7 Middle School), and Chelsea Hicok (8-12 High School). Your PRide, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the students and staff of Pine River Area Schools are the backbone of our school community. We are lucky to have you at the helm and I thank you for all you do!
With Gratitude and PRide,
Superintendent Michelle Gill
