8th Grade Crazy Hat Day
On Wednesday, November 23rd, we will celebrate “Crazy Hat Day” here at Paulo. This 8th grade event is another staple in a long list of senior activities that we will have this year
We recommend that all hats are original and unique. We will be handing out prizes throughout the course of the day for those that best fit that criterion.
Please help us in ensuring that this event is successful. Pictures will be taken for our yearbook and video yearbook. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Reinhold, Assistant Principal.
