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)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When the Devil quotes Scriptures, it’s not, really, to deceive, but simply that the masses are so ignorant of theology that somebody has to teach them the elementary texts before he can seduce them.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
