Athletic Events
Plymouth and Sandburg middle schools have pools that are used for high school swimming events and Plymouth has swimming lessons. Although the Armstrong Swim teams practices at Plymouth and Cooper swim teams practice at Sandburg, both teams hold their home meets at Plymouth Middle School. The elementary schools have one of the largest chess programs in the state. Every elementary school chess club has at least 15 kids, and one, that of Sunny Hollow, has recently reached over 75 kids before they had to start turning down club hopefuls. This program is largely due to the leadership of Daa Mahowald, the co-coach of the majority of elementary chess clubs when the district realized the need for a chess coordinator. She has taken a less active role in specific chess clubs as the coordinator.

Famous quotes containing the words athletic and/or events:
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
“When the course of events shall have removed you to distant scenes of action where laurels not nurtured with the blood of my country may be gathered, I shall urge sincere prayers for your obtaining every honor and preferment which may gladden the heart of a soldier.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
