Pentwater Public Schools

Our 4th-6th grade students enjoying a Whitecaps game in Grand Rapids on Wednesday, 5/22/19!

On Friday, May 17, 2019, Clif and Jake Metcalf visited to perform and work with the HS Jazz Band, 5th Grade Band, and the Kindergarten and 1st Grade students. Clif is a senior at Hope College studying business and music and Jake is a senior at Alma High School and is quite the multi-instrumentalist. It was great to have some professional musicians in to show students the different avenues a career in music can take you. Thank you Jake and Clif!
