Dear PVES Families,<\/p>\n
And the last week of the school year has arrived. Congratulations to all of you for your amazing flexibility, resilience, and care that you have put into supporting your young children this year.\u00a0 We are all so proud of what we have been able to accomplish together this year, and I know the children have benefited.\u00a0 When so many schools around us struggled to get started or remain open to learners, PVES has offered both in-school and at-home learning since September. Thank you for working with us every step of the way, to make this all possible.\u00a0 We have certainly grown together and as a community, and I do hope that the hardest days are behind us. I wish you all much health and safety in the months ahead!<\/p>\n
Happy Father\u2019s Day to all of our PVES dads! I hope that you have enjoyed this beautiful day with your loved ones, and that you never forget how very important you are to your growing children.\u00a0 You are a role model for them at all times. Thank you for all you do.<\/p>\n
Our country officially recognized the Juneteenth holiday this past Saturday, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.\u00a0 Our students have begun to learn about the origin of this holiday, and how our President signed the Juneteenth Independence Day Act into law this past week.<\/p>\n
Our PVES community enjoyed a spectacular Spirit Week last week.\u00a0 Thank you for helping your children to join in the fun of the themed days and fun attire. Our Field Day on this past Thursday was truly wonderful, with amazing weather, great outdoor activities, and a surprise Bubble Bus visit for each grade level in the afternoon.\u00a0 Thank you to our physical education teachers, Mrs. Aurigemma and Mr. Heitman. Thank you also to our PTA for making the Bubble Bus surprise possible!\u00a0 Our remote learners were able to access their Field Day activities virtually on Thursday.\u00a0 Thank you to the parents who sent in video of the at-home participation.\u00a0 It was a wonderful Spirit Week!<\/p>\n
Your children may have come home with several books from school that they can keep! Thank you to Mrs. Broas for setting up \u201cThe Great Book Give-Away\u201d in our Auditorium this week!\u00a0 All students were able to visit the Auditorium to browse through the many donated books and choose some to take home.\u00a0 What a great way to kick off a summer of reading! Thank you also to Mrs. DeRubeis who helped with the book set-up!<\/p>\n
Please encourage your children to look through our Lost & Found Collection which is displayed in our main hallway.\u00a0 If you know your child is missing a particular sweatshirt, hat, or jacket, please remind your child to take a look, or please send a quick email to his\/her teacher. It is always good to label these items so that they can be quickly returned.<\/p>\n
Our remote learners will be able to drop off their laptops and school supplies on this Thursday afternoon between 2:00 and 3:30, or Friday morning between 9:00 and 12:00.\u00a0 Thursday will be a half-day of school for our elementary students, and there will be no school on Friday.\u00a0 Our rubric-based Report Cards will be available online on Friday afternoon, and they will be mailed via U.S. mail by early next week.<\/p>\n
We are looking forward to our in-school individual class 4th<\/sup> Grade Moving Up Ceremonies this week.\u00a0 Only people with tickets may attend the ceremonies.\u00a0 Thank you to our PTA committee who created such a beautiful yearbook this year. The in-school fourth-grade learners were treated to a wonderful bagel breakfast on their special yearbook day.\u00a0 Our fourth graders were also able to visit the middle school this past week for a brief orientation. There is so much to celebrate and to look forward to!<\/p>\n All staff and students are invited to wear Blue and White on this Thursday, June 24th<\/sup>!\u00a0 Fourth graders can wear their special 4th<\/sup> Grade T-shirts if they would like!\u00a0 Our school spirit is strong, and we are all looking forward to a strong start in September! Together, we can do anything!<\/p>\n Have a great week ahead!<\/p>\n Sincerely, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear PVES Families, And the last week of the school year has arrived.
