Dear PVMS Families,<\/p>\n
Welcome to the winter season!\u00a0 This time of year brings joy, happiness, and family gatherings but it also brings attention to emotions that build throughout the entire year.\u00a0 This is a time to reflect on what went well and changes that could be made for the upcoming calendar year.\u00a0 Emotions run high and it is extremely important to be sensitive to what everyone might be challenged with on a daily basis.\u00a0 This is just one more reason to be kind and empathetic to those around us as we address these topics on a daily basis through our advisory classes.<\/p>\n
I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of a very important Facilities Project Bond Vote being held on December 4th<\/sup> from 6:00 a.m. \u2013 9:00 p.m. at the Putnam Valley Elementary School.\u00a0 Our Middle School is earmarked for approximately 9 million dollars in renovations.\u00a0 The building has been virtually untouched from its inception in 1972.\u00a0 Some major changes would be a new four thousand square foot space with a library and flexible learning spaces.\u00a0 In addition, a new expanded cafeteria where we can cook our own food, renovated bathrooms, improved stage area with expanded seating (enough to seat an entire grade level) so that all can eat together and have recess together at the same time, and new chorus and band spaces.\u00a0 For further details, please take a look at all of the possibilities.<\/a>\u00a0 Please remember to vote!<\/p>\n Over the last several years, our PVMS Home Work Booster Lab has been funded by the Hope for Youth Foundation.\u00a0 We are looking forward to a calendar signing event where Jim Witt will be with us on Wednesday, December 12th<\/sup> from 5:30 \u2013 7:00 in the PVHS Main Entrance foyer for a calendar purchase and signing.\u00a0 Please help spread the word as the Hope for Youth Foundation<\/a> has given back to the Hudson Valley for many years.\u00a0 These calendars make for great gifts and not only have scenic pictures but Jim Witt\u2019s long-range forecasts.<\/p>\n Concert season is upon us and it is wonderful to see families attend these events.<\/p>\n Our Winter Chorus Concerts will take place Tuesday, 12\/11\/18 for 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> grade and Wednesday, 12\/12\/18 for 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> grade.\u00a0 These concerts take place in the high school Performing Arts Center (PAC) at 7:00 p.m.\u00a0 A snow date<\/u> for these concerts would be on 12\/13\/18 at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n Our Winter Band Concerts will take place Tuesday, 12\/18\/18 for 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> grade and Wednesday, 12\/19\/18 for 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> grade.\u00a0 These concerts take place in the high school Performing Arts Center (PAC) at 7:00 p.m.\u00a0 A snow date<\/u> for these concerts would be on 12\/20\/18 at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n Holiday Recess will begin on Monday, 12\/24\/18 \u2013 Monday, 1\/1\/19.\u00a0 We resume classes on Tuesday, 1\/2\/19.<\/p>\n I wish you all a wonderful holiday season with your families.\u00a0 Be sure to spend time with your children and discuss the importance of forming relationships, working hard, and building character.\u00a0 It is through making good choices and setting examples for others that everyone learns and grows on a daily basis.\u00a0 Monitor your child\u2019s progress and partner with us in establishing the best experience possible for our children.\u00a0 We look forward to an exciting 2019!<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Travis W.
