Dear PVES Families,
We welcome the season of spring this week! The official start of spring will be on this Thursday, March 20th, at 5:01 AM, and we are ready! The children have been able to use the back field and playground for several weeks now, and the temperatures are warming up. Tomorrow, all staff and students are welcome to wear “green” to school for St. Patrick’s Day. We look forward to welcoming our local Irish Step Dancer students who will perform for us. It’s sure to be a festive start to our spring week!
Congratulations and “Bravo” to the cast and crew of the fabulous PVES/PTA musical, “Jungle Book Kids.” Our young performers filled the stage with so much talent and joy, and they were so well prepared for this amazing show. Thank you again to Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Bennett, and Mr. Durland for their outstanding work with our third and fourth-grade students. The audience just loved this event, and the students seemed to love it even more! Thank you all!
Our Spring Scholastic Book Fair is almost here! Thank you to our PTA volunteers for making this possible. The Book Fair will be held from Monday, March 24th, through Friday morning, March 28th. Please sign up to volunteer with the PTA if you are able. All classes will have a scheduled time to visit the fair.
Please check the Weekly Notices for new club opportunities and upcoming events that are available for your children. Please also note that there will be no school for students on Monday, March 31st, as this is a Superintendent’s Conference Day for our faculty.
As we look ahead to April, the Third Grade Recorder Concert will be held on Wednesday, April 9th, at 7:00 PM. Schools will be closed for Spring Break from Monday, April 14th, through Monday, April 21st. Schools will open on Tuesday, April 22nd, Earth Day.
Have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you for your positive communication and support. Happy spring!
Sincerely,
Dr. Margaret Podesta
Principal
