COMMUNITY PRIDE DAY: Community Pride Day happens every May. Our high school students take a half day to do volunteer work around the community, such as raking, weeding, shoveling sand, and bagging litter. The extra helping hands, smiles and energy of our students give a big boost to community members who are also stepping up to beautify our area after the long winter. This wonderful Pentwater tradition is always much anticipated by our students, staff and community members alike. Submitted by social media contributor, Carrie VanDuinen.
