We had a GREAT day at Cedar Street. The students had a decorating contest, played a holiday gift exchange game, participated in the Annual Cedar Street Reindeer games and ended the festivities with an indoor snowball fight. Happy Holiday's from us to you. Have a fun and safe break. We will see you back here at school on Jan. 3rd.

Sorry for the late notice due to unforeseen circumstances our elementary frog run will be cancelled this afternoon.
The ties that bind Paw Paw are strong! We're in awe at everyday heroes like Tracy Markillie, hardlines team lead at Walmart Supercenter, who show up with a cartful of binders to generously donate to PPHS. Thank you, Walmart of Paw Paw! #pawpawproud #walmart

It has been a tradition for many years to have the Aspire students participate in honoring our Veterans at the ceremonies held by the American Legion post. I have one word to describe this...PROUD.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow! #YourVoteMatters
Election Day is right around the corner, and Paw Paw Public Schools Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal is on the ballot. Voters will be asked to consider a ballot proposal that would renew Paw Paw Public Schools Current Operating Millage rate of 18 mills for a period of 10 years. There is no cost on primary residences. This millage applies only to non-homestead properties such as rental homes, commercial property, businesses, and vacation homes.
It will impose no new taxes. Holding this millage rate steady for the next 10 years will ensure that all students have access to opportunities that will prepare them for college, trade schools, the workforce and beyond!
For questions regarding the November 2, 2021 Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal, please call the District Administration Office at 269-415-5200 or visit www.ppps.org
