Our Parent Chat program returns on Thursday, April 22 @ 7 PM, with an important topic entitled Sex Education, Sexual Safety, and the Law. We will share information about our sex education and reproductive health program in Paw Paw.
We will also be joined by Van Buren County Prosecutor Susan Zuiderveen and two assistant prosecutors from her office to share with families information that can help parents inform and protect their children. As always, after presentations there will be an opportunity for questions and dialogue.
We hope you'll join the program, which will be virtual.

Watch Paw Paw Middle School Science Teacher Mr. Oles release salmon into the Paw Paw River! Thank you to the sixth grade science class who raised them, and also @SouthHavenSteelheaders for providing "Salmon in the Classroom" equipment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNP7N_1pfOA
It's not hard to see why students at the Paw Paw Elementary Campus enjoy recess, walks outside and waiting for the bus! Take a drive by soon if you want to catch the spectacular dogwoods in bloom.
We would love to show our SENIORS some love by placing Yard Signs at each of their homes. However, we need some sponsors to help with the cost of these signs. For just $10 each, you could sponsor a sign for a senior's yard.
When we have enough sponsors to make sure each of our 182 seniors is sponsored, we will deliver the signs.
If you are interested in helping with this, please contact the HS office, or send a check to PPHS. Thank you for your consideration.
