❤️📬🇺🇸 They Did It! 🇺🇸📬❤️ Mrs. Davison’s 2nd Grade Class at Paw Paw Early Elementary has officially received postcards from all 50 states! Congratulations 🎉 The final postcard and magazine from West Virginia completed their Hearts Across America Project, a classroom initiative that connects students with people from all 50 states, and made for an unforgettable end to the school year. THANK YOU to all who shared the project and helped the students experience the kindness and beauty of communities across America. 🇺🇸❤️🗺️ What an amazing learning adventure! 🐾✨

📸Photo Note: Mrs. Davison and some of her amazing students are pictured here on Water World Day during the last week of school. Sorry we couldn't round up everyone for the photo. Summer vacation was already calling their names! 😎🏖️

🤝💙 At PPPS, one of our core values is Community, which is why we are sharing this opportunity for the community. Mark your calendar to attend this important Human Trafficking Awareness presentation on June 18 at the Paw Paw Lions Club, where survivor Leslie King will share her story and ways to help protect others. Together, awareness can make a difference. Note: due to mature content, parental discretion is advised for children.💙🛡️
