What a day! The 73rd Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade filled downtown with music, school spirit, and community pride this past weekend!
This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨
A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.

4th grade students worked w/ their new teammates to save Fred! 🐛 Using only paperclips and teamwork, students worked together to rescue Fred. There were plenty of laughs, big ideas, and creative solutions along the way! 💡✨





Kevin Luthardt has been working hard in our Media Center all summer adding beautiful works for art. The final piece he is finishing was designed by our students! They wanted to see a Wildcat busting through bricks with a book and a library card. Kevin finished the "Reading Takes You Places" mural and the one with students building, creating, and playing above the Makerspace center.
Thank you, Mrs. Domanski, for all your work planning and communicating with Mr. Luthardt all summer. Our students are going to love the beautiful, new additions!
