Check out this exciting new mural outside the Performing Arts Center at PPHS! The high school's new Independent Art Class, Creative Career & Collective (3C), worked on designing the mural. With guidance from PPHS Art Teacher Sarah Bentley, the work symbolizes the unique strength, diversity, and creativity of Paw Paw students. Students were tasked with designing a butterfly mural. Eleventh-grade student Ezekiel King won the design contest! Art students worked together to bring the mural to life during and after school. Ezekiel had this to say about the finished mural, "It represents that even though everyone is different and might not get along, our school unifies us and we always cheer each other along in our sports or when we're doing school activities." #mural #art #arteducation #teenleaders #publicart #buildtogetherpawpaw
Recently, high school students at Cedar Street took a break from classes and earned House Points while competing in Minute-to-Win-It style games! Based on the themes from Harry Potter: Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff, students belong to a House, and teachers and staff play as Slytherins. Students rotated between games and participated in as many as possible. Ravenclaws took the most points for the day, but Gryffindor still holds the most points for the year. The tallest stack of dice was 11, and the longest flight for gliders was over 7 meters! #minutetowinitgames #cupstacking #groupgames #challenginggames #games #buildtogetherpawpaw
