Pine River Area Schools K-5 Teacher Maddie Marks has been awarded a $2,500 Education Excellence Award from the Set Seg Foundation in partnership with MASB for the STEAM program she teaches. Only12 programs throughout the state were granted this award. The Pine River Area School District is PRoud of the work that Miss Marks is doing to promote science, technology, engineering, art and math in her K-5 classrooms. She noted in the grant application that "The goal of the K-5 STEAM program is to empower every student to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and develop confidence as a problem solver. Through design thinking and hands-on exploration, students learn to plan, build, test, and improve their ideas while strengthening essential skills like perseverance, teamwork, and communication. The program aims to nurture curiosity and innovation so students leave STEAM believing they are capable creators and thinkers".
Miss Marks will be honored for her grant titled "Steaming Ahead with the K-5 STEAM Education Program" by the District and Set Seg at the April 13, 2026 Board of Education meeting which begins at 6 p.m. in the Middle School Library. Congratulations Miss Marks!

At least one set of our high school bathrooms will be renovated this summer with a new look. Attached is a photo rendering of the new bathroom design. Other districts have had much success in reducing unfavorable behaviors with these types of single stall bathrooms.
