Pleasanton Public Schools

There was plenty of love to go around last week on Valentines Day! From decorated boxes, candies, & singing Valentines from our Choir, it was a day full of fun!

It was a hard fought game last night in Litchfield, with the Spartans advancing over the Bulldogs. Coach Drew graduated in 2002 from Pleasanton, so luckily we still have a Bulldog in the fight! Congrats Coach!

Read Across America Week is next week!! Parents look at each day's theme and encourage your kiddo(s) to participate. It will be a fun week!

IMPORTANT INFO FOR FRIDAY @ MCCOOL JUNCTION: For the Girl's District Basketball game on Friday at McCool Junction, please enter through the Preschool entrance, which is just to the East of the main gym doors. They will have some cones near the preschool entrance, so you know where to go. This will help McCool Junction keep water and dirt/mud off of their floor, as everyone will have to walk down a couple of carpeted hallways to enter the gym. You can sit on the North side of the gym closest to the American flag, and students can sit behind our team bench on the north side. They will do their best to get everyone into the gym. They will have an area set up in their cafeteria with the live stream playing on a large TV. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Pleasanton Public Schools.

Important Message from both Sandhills/Thedford & Pleasanton Administration regarding tonight's game in Dunning: Basketball Fans and Families: We are really excited to host the D2-7 subdistrict final this evening. I am going to ask for a special consideration from fans at this evening’s games. The condition of our parking lot as a result of the melting snow has made it very difficult to keep up with the dirt being tracked in. The damage done to the playing surface on Tuesday was significant. To minimize the impact of traffic on the floor I would like all fans to stay in the stands or in the commons area before, during, and after the games. We pride ourselves on offering our students the best facilities we possibly can and with more games to come and hopefully many more practices we need your help in keeping our playing surface in its best possible condition. Thank you very much! Superintendent J.D. Furrow Pleasanton Families: We would also like to remind all of our fans it is our role to support our young ladies on the court this evening. We know this time of year can be emotional for everyone involved but please let the coaches coach, players play, and the referees ref. We appreciate your support of our girls!! Superintendent Nathan Lightle
