As part of the recognition, each student was asked to name the teacher who has influenced them the most so far. Logan recognized Mr. Garrett for having the greatest influence on her and inspiring her journey to one day become a teacher.
A message from Logan’s mom:
"I just wanted to share this moment and highlight how amazing the teaching staff is at Plymouth. The ability to impact kids in such a positive way is truly incredible!"

Big Red Recap:
The Big Red Boys Basketball team traveled to Galion on Thursday night for a district tournament matchup with Tiffin Calvert. The Big Red and Senecas gave everyone the close, nip and tuck, back and forth game that was expected. Calvert would hold a small 13-11 advantage after the 1st quarter and would extend that lead out to 24-16 at the half with a late 2nd quarter scoring run. Calvert would extend that lead out to 11 early in the 3rd quarter before the Big Red started to chip away and start the comeback as they would cut the deficit to 35-30 after 3 quarters. Calvert would keep the one or two possession lead for most of the 4th quarter before the Big Red would get to within one point at 40-39 with under 2 minutes to play. The teams would trade a few key baskets and foul shots and with the score at 45-42 the Big Red forced a key turnover and had a chance to tie the game but the Seneca's came up with a key stop and would seal the game at the free throw line for the 48-42 win. The Big Red's season comes to an end with a 15-9 overall record.
Congratulations to our Big Red players and coaches on a great season!
