Dear PVMS Families,
Our April showers have brought May flowers and your children have just started the beginning of the fourth quarter. 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, “Into the Woods,” 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 from Cinderella to the Big Bad Wolf. Thank you to the Stage and Scenery Crew, who did all the behind the scene work for the show and of course our actors and actresses. It was truly amazing to see staff, students, and families support this show. We have gifted students who will be moving on to the high school next year to continue the foundation of a very rich and talented community.
Congratulations to our twenty-six 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. They will be volunteering their time at our Family Math Night on May 16th. This is just one of the many opportunities and ways that these students have given back to our community.
