Parents, help spread the word! This is going to be a great presentation tomorrow night at the high school performing arts center. We heard this person present a couple weeks ago and they did a fantastic job educating us about resources available to parents that are trying to navigate, social media, apps, and the digital footprint of our students. We really encourage you to try to attend.
Spaces are filling quickly, but currently there are still some openings in the PPPS Preschool 3-year-old classroom. This is a great opportunity for your 3-year-old to make friends, have fun and learn new skills that will help them succeed in school! For more information, contact jenna.bowers@ppps.org or melinda.brennan@ppps. org, or call 269-415-5728. Pick up your enrollment packet at the Cedar Street Campus, 555 Cedar St. , Paw Paw. #buildtogetherpawpaw
We are looking for families to help next Wednesday afternoon to clean up our playgrounds at the elementary buildings. More hands make less work!

Check out this exciting new mural outside the Performing Arts Center at PPHS! The high school's new Independent Art Class, Creative Career & Collective (3C), worked on designing the mural. With guidance from PPHS Art Teacher Sarah Bentley, the work symbolizes the unique strength, diversity, and creativity of Paw Paw students. Students were tasked with designing a butterfly mural. Eleventh-grade student Ezekiel King won the design contest! Art students worked together to bring the mural to life during and after school. Ezekiel had this to say about the finished mural, "It represents that even though everyone is different and might not get along, our school unifies us and we always cheer each other along in our sports or when we're doing school activities." #mural #art #arteducation #teenleaders #publicart #buildtogetherpawpaw
