Paw Paw Athletics - Test 123

Dear Santa, I love school so much, but as you know there are some days we don’t have enough bus drivers to cover all our routes, and that’s hard on everyone. As kids, we have lots to worry about these days, so my one wish this year is to have enough bus drivers to take us to and from school every day. That’s where I need your help! Could you pretty please with cinnamon sugar on top help me spread the word to as many people as possible? We need more bus drivers, people like you who care about kids and want them to succeed. Our bus drivers are great people. We just need more of them! Thank you, Santa! Xoxo P.S. I’ll leave some milk and cookies out for you.

Beginning tomorrow, Paw Paw Middle School is pleased to announce it will open its doors and hallways to the community for indoor walking! Please park on the building's south side and use Entrance "E." Open walking is on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m. throughout the school year. Note: indoor walking will be on student instruction days only and will be closed during school breaks, when there is an early dismissal or school cancellation. #community #buildtogetherpawpaw

The PPPS Volleyball future is bright! PPHS Volleyball players showed our Core Value of Kindness by helping Volleyball Coach Duchene run the 2023 Summer Volleyball Camp for 3rd - 8th grade students.

Due to the popularity of the PPPS Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program, families are encouraged to enroll children as soon as possible for this fall! At this time, the 4-year-old classroom is full, but there's still time to add your child's name to a waiting list. Several spots are still open for the 3-year-old class, and when that class is full, another waiting list will be started. Currently, space is available in the 2 1/2 - to 3-year-old class and the preschool-readiness room, but these are also filling quickly. For more information, please contact the ECE Director: melinda.brennan@ppps.org.

Reminder: Tomorrow is the last PPPS Senior Citizens Luncheon for this school year. You won't want to miss a special summer-themed picnic menu as talented middle school students perform from their latest musical! A special thanks to all who have participated, performed and prepared food for these special monthly gatherings. Have a spectacular summer! #BuildTogetherPawPaw

Reminder: Be sure to join us at 5:30 p.m. today at Paw Paw Later Elementary to preview the 2022 Bond Projects and learn more about the exciting progress that is being made! #buildtogetherpawpaw
