100’s day fun cup stacking is Mrs. Ayres’ room!
We are celebrating our 100th day of school today! The Paw Paw Early Elementary teachers would like to thank our families for the cereal donations. There were 186 boxes of cereal! Mrs. Ayers delivered them to Eleanor’s Pantry over the weekend. The cereal boxes were used for a fun safety 100 day celebration. Check our Facebook page for the fun video Mrs. Ayers and Ms. Luma made for the kids!
The Early Elementary is working hard to make the morning and afternoon drop off/pickup safe for our students and families. There will be safety cones placed in the left side of the car loop at the crosswalk, and our staff is available to help students from vehicles to the building. Please remember if you are dropping your child off using the car loop there is no time to wait, this will cause congestion and create late student arrivals. Practicing patience will make a good morning for our students. Thank you for your understanding and helping create a safe routine.
