Plymouth School District schools, staff, students, and families have been helping others throughout this holiday season. Here are some examples of their caring and generosity!

Plymouth High School

• National Honor Society partnered with FFA on the annual Holiday Food Drive from Dec. 8 to 16, collecting $1,400 and 1,700 food items for the Plymouth Food Pantry. Some of the donations were collected during the Battle of Highway 23 Basketball Tournament on Dec. 13.
