ISBE partners, No Kid Hungry and the Illinois Hunger Coalition, staff the hotline and texting num-bers, referring families to feeding sites during the summer months.

NOTICE

Parents, please make sure that female and male athletes planning to go out for Jr High sports next school year receive their physicals NOW. Each sport season there are students attempting to get appointments with their physicians at the last moment and are disappointed when they are not able to do so. Soccer and volleyball will start August 14! All Jr. High physicals need to be turned in to Paw Paw Schools. Junior High sports fees for fall 2019 are $35.

Paw Paw Schools Memorial Wall

A memorial wall is being established at the entrance of the High School. Its purpose is for families to remember loved ones

who have attended Paw Paw Schools and for individuals who have an attachment to the schools and want to leave a lasting

legacy. To remember loved ones or leave a legacy, paw prints with names can be purchased starting at $150. The paw prints

with the names and years of life or graduating class year, will be prominently displayed on the wall. The money collected for

the wall will be used for projects that are permanent. If you are interested in purchasing a paw print, contact 815-627-2841.
