PAW PAW STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY INVITED TO SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW NICKNAME
The process for selecting a new nickname for Paw Paw Public Schools kicks off today, April 2, and the 27-student Task Force helping to lead the process is inviting anyone (students, alumni, staff, community members, etc.) with a suggestion, idea, or thought for the next nickname to submit it using our online survey.

The survey will be open for suggestions from today until April 24 @ Noon, at which time the submission process will be closed. All serious and respectful nickname submissions will then be put on a ballot, and anyone interested in voting to identify the Top 10 choices will be invited to participate in the voting.
Please keep in mind that Paw Paw WILL NOT be changing school colors as part of the process to adopt a new nickname.
