• Kids returning to class, supply donation needs met after Dix Street Elementary fire (wwmt.com) — Paw Paw's school district is among several nearby communities donating classroom furniture so Dix Street Elementary students can restart classes Wednesday at Allegan's Pine Trails facility after a recent library fire.
