Congratulations to our fourth-grade scientists who participated in the Tri-County Science and Technology Fair in White Plains on this past Saturday. Thirteen of our students presented their research projects in designated science categories to a team of judges, and our students received many Excellent and Outstanding Science Awards. These children, and their parents, made us so proud, as this was the first time that Putnam Valley Elementary School has participated in this wonderful event. Thank you to high school student Sarah Broas for bringing us the idea of this amazing academic opportunity!
We are so proud of our third and fourth grade students who took the NYS Math exams with so much confidence and skill this week! It always amazes us to see how confident and prepared our students are for their academic tasks, and we congratulate the students on their strong work ethic and grit! They make us so proud!
Enjoy the weekend ahead. We look forward to seeing you at Open House!
Warmly,
Ms. Podesta
