Lincoln Elementary School third-grader Lucas Park, a student in Lane Paulson’s class, designed and created his own math game to celebrate his classroom success.
His game, a multiplication and division activity called the “Lucas Wubbox Game,” blends the fun of a bags toss with practicing math facts.

Students in 4th Grade wrote descriptive paragraphs about the Jack O Lantern they created. The 5 classes were mixed up and children had to guess which pumpkin was being described based on the clues. This gave students the opportunity to write for a real audience and understand the importance of using details to send a clear message in their writing.

What a day! The 73rd Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade filled downtown with music, school spirit, and community pride this past weekend!
This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨
A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.
