Teacher (Staff) Appreciation Week
Paw Paw Elementary Students Will Receive FREE BOOKS This Summer!
All Paw Paw students in grades Young 5's through 5th grade will once again receive free books for summer reading. Research shows that providing books of the students’ choosing and encouraging them to read for enjoyment can have a tremendous impact in preventing the summer slide that often occurs when students are out of school.
We have ordered a huge selection of new Scholastic books that are high-interest for all grade levels. This year, students will be choosing 6 books during the last week of school. eLearners will choose their books when they come in for end-of-year assessments. The children will be able to bring 2 books home with them on the day that they choose them, and the other 4 books will be set aside for them to receive later.
We will be hosting distribution events at the end of June and the end of July. At each distribution, the students will be given 2 more of the books they previously chose. We will make arrangements to get the books into our students’ hands if they are unable to attend the distributions.
If you have an elementary student in Paw Paw, be on the lookout for their books to come home the week of June 7th, and come join us at our distribution days in the summer. Information will be sent home with students, shared in School Messenger, and promoted on our Facebook page.
