Congratulations to the baseball team that advanced to the District Semi Finals with a win over Harrison. A special congratulations to Head Coach Shawn Ruppert who recorded his 700th win in the process! In true Coach Ruppert fashion he mentioned it to no one and I'm sure was hoping to keep it quiet.
We are fortunate to have the incredible consistency and experience that Coach Ruppert has established with our program.
Be sure to get your incoming youth athletes registered for the PR camps taking place this summer. Basketball, Football, Track, Wrestling, and Volleyball will all host developmental clinics for a low cost to students entering grades 8 and Under.

Congratulations to our Buck of the Week, Madalyn Morris!
Attn: Pine River Students and Families! Lincoln Township and other Townships in our school district are in need of election workers this summer. August 6th is at least one day they need workers. Lincoln Township pays $20 per hour for election workers. Some other Townships pay differently. Please contact your local Township Office if you are interested in working an election. 16 and 17 year old students are also eligible to work on election days too! This would be a great opportunity for our youth to learn more about our elections. Also, early voting is available 9 days before election day. Plus absentee voting will be available in late June. Always remember to vote! The main goal of our Pine River Schools Bond on August 6th is to replace our broken septic / wastewater lagoon system. This bond will keep your school millage tax rate the same and will give us the funding to replace our system for the long term continuation of our school system. Thank you!
Wow, the school year is almost over already! As summer vacation approaches, our student support team and superintendent would like to share this safety reminder to keep our students and families safe all year. Please watch this short video. It's powerful, positive and relates to all families.

Our Pine River Area Schools website is now updated with Bond Information for the August 6, 2024 election date. Here is the link to the website: https://www.pineriver.org/o/pras/page/bond.
This is a zero increase bond election, meaning that the school millage tax rate will stay the same. The main purpose of this bond is to replace our 1960's wastewater / septic lagoon system which is broken but still functioning. If it quits working, we can't have any school or sports on site, so it is very important to replace this for the long term. Other bond funds will also be used to finish the HVAC upgrades, security upgrades and instructional technology for students and instructional staff. Mark your calendars now to vote by August 6th!
