Plymouth Creek Elementary School
Plymouth Creek Elementary School's school mascot is the panther and the principal is Dr. Karla Thompson. For a couple of years in a row, this school has won the Minnesota School of Excellence award. Plymouth Creek has a nine month school year from September to June. Every morning a team of 5th graders produce a news show, supervised by Mrs. Toma.
Each day students go to a specialist. They attend Spanish, gym, art, vocal music, or technology for an hour. A highlight of the year is Book Month, which takes place in February. During this month students collect money based on the number of pages they read. This money goes to the PTA.

Famous quotes containing the words plymouth, creek, elementary and/or school:
“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The only law was that enforced by the Creek Lighthorsemen and the U.S. deputy marshals who paid rare and brief visits; or the “two volumes of common law” that every man carried strapped to his thighs.”
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. relief program (1935-1943)
“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
