Dear PVMS Families,
The month of May has arrived with the sight of flowers and warmer weather. You will see our students have many opportunities to blossom as well. Please join us in finishing strong these last two months of school. Children will be busy with activities outside of school, but this reminds us to stay on schedule and grow academically.
Events – Congratulations to All Involved
Our musical, “The Wiz,” was unbelievable. There was an array of students that came together for this production. The children on stage embodied their roles and became those characters. Thank you to the Stage and Scenery Crew, who did all the behind the scene work for the show and of course our actors. It was truly amazing to see staff, students, and families support this show.
Congratulations to our thirty new members of the PVMS National Junior Honor Society. These students exemplify: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship. We look forward to hearing about their future goals and accomplishments.
