CHAMPIONS IN THE COMMUNITY Plain Local would like to give special recognition to the individuals, groups, teams and businesses who are champions in our schools and community!
Hadley Whitton Eagle Online. Hadley had been pondering cutting her hair. She wasn’t too sure, but when she found out she was able to donate her hair to Locks of Love to support children going through cancer, she jumped at the chance! Way to go Hadley!
Ella, Jade, Sam and Griffin GlenOak High School. Students from Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Shawk’s classes have been helping pack lunches for our Eagle Online students who are learning from home. We are so appreciative of these students for their hard work and patience in the cafeteria!

Sydney Harbour and Zachary Zyrlund Oakwood Middle School. Eighth grade STEM students, Sydney Harbour and Zachary Zyrlund, using their knowledge of mechanisms recently learned in class, designed and built a windmill to grind grain into flour or pump water, they did both on their build! This requires a change in direction of motion by 90º and requires a different input/output speed relationship. Great initiative Sydney and Zachary!
