Thanks to Meemic for providing a Samsung tablet to Paw Paw Middle School teacher Andrew Becker. He will put it to good use with students!
At the June meeting of the Board of Education, Paw Paw Middle School math coach and interventionist Beth Covey shared the work of the MS Math Professional Learning Community, introducing board members and those in attendance to the work her team has put into developing a comprehensive MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) program in math for students in grades 6-8.
For many board members and attendees it was an introduction to work generated during Wednesday Early Release sessions when teachers collaborate around student data to plan and adjust instruction to better meet the needs of all students.
Thank you to Mrs. Covey and the MS Math team for sharing and providing the high quality MTSS program provided to students at Paw Paw Middle School.
Last night at the June meeting of the Paw Paw Public Schools Board of Education, Superintendent Rick Reo introduced the two individuals selected for the 2021-2022 Van Buren County Educational Hero Awards. Board President Brent McNitt helped recognize the recipients by presenting them with their awards.
Paw Paw Early Elementary teacher Melissa Shugg was nominated for the award by a parent who wrote in her nomination letter about the extraordinary care, consideration, support, and professionalism her child received from Mrs. Shugg this school year.
Paw Paw High School teacher Ben Tomlinson was nominated for the award by a parent who wrote in her nomination letter of the outstanding leadership Mr. Tomlinson provides for the PPHS Robotics Program and the outstanding experiences, mentoring, and outcomes provided to students who participate in the program.
Congratulations to both 2021-2022 Paw Paw Public Schools Educational Heroes, and thank you for all the ways you positively impact the lives and experiences of students.

Parents for the Class of 2023-
It's time to start thinking about Grad Bash 2023!
While next year's graduation seems so far away, it will be here before you know it. It's time to get organized for Grad Bash, so you don't miss out on some prime summer fundraising opportunities.
If you are interested in being part of the 2023 Grad Bash leadership team, please reach out to Mrs. Southworth this week. She'll get you in contact with the 2022 GB Officers to set up a time to meet and hand over the reins!
Bronson Health is conducting a survey to help identify the most important needs and issues affecting the health of people who live and work in Van Buren County. They would like to hear from you! Please take this Community Health Needs Survey. The survey is offered in both English and Spanish and will stay open through June 11. Your feedback is important! https://bit.ly/3MrD494
Reminder that even though tomorrow is a Wednesday, we are NOT releasing early. School dismisses at 2:45 tomorrow, June 1.
Thank you, PPPS families, for your support of Early Release Wednesdays! While today is the last Early Release Wednesday of the school year, please know that our teachers and staff are grateful for having this time set aside each week to work together, share ideas and collaborate on strategies for success.
