Graduation

The decision has been made- The 2021 PPHS Graduation Ceremonies have been moved INDOORS for tomorrow evening (Friday, May 28).
Earlier this week, Seniors were each given 10 tickets for their specific time slot. All guests will need a ticket to enter the Performing Arts Center.
Families should arrive 5 minutes before their ceremony time.
Because we are indoors, we respectfully ask that masks be worn by everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
Reminder that there is a mandatory rehearsal for all graduates at 12:00pm (noon) on Friday.
Tonight's Parade of Seniors is ON!
Even though the road won't officially be open, thanks to the construction crews for their flexibility- we will be traveling right down Michigan avenue!

Throughout the Paw Paw Public Schools we are experiencing intermittent phones issues due to internet and power outages this morning. If necessary to communicate with the schools, please use email until this can be resolved. We appreciate your patience!
Tonight we will present our annual Senior Awards Ceremony.
Attendance is limited due to indoor seating capacity limits, and we have asked our seniors to limit their guests to no more than 3 members of their immediate household.
Families are asked to sit together, and socially distance from other households.
We must insist that masks be worn by everyone in attendance, but we will allow students to take their masks off for pictures.

When it comes to traditions like Senior Prom, thanks to the PPHS junior class and many others who helped plan a safe and memorable "Night Under the Stars," the Senior Class of 2021 was able to have theirs this year! If you helped make this dream come true in any way, THANK YOU!
Attached is information about next week's Senior activities.
Most events are closed events, and open only to seniors and their immediate families.
The community parade, however, is an opportunity for everyone on the Paw Paw community to show their support for these graduates. The parade will take place on Thursday, May 27. It will leave the PPHS parking lot at 7:00 pm and make its way through town, ending at the Middle School. Details on the exact route will depend on the road contruction projects in the village, but we will stick as close as possible to W Michigan Avenue. Route details to come next week.
Superintendent Rick Reo, with help from PPPS administrative staff, accepted the "Excellence in Innovation" award from @unitedwayswmich for the wonderful work done by Paw Paw Public Schools during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Well-deserved!!!
