Dear Parents and Community Members,
What an awesome week we had at PV! Among the many great things that happened was our first Veterans Day celebration, and it was truly amazing.
The celebration began with a light breakfast for Veterans and their students in our media center. Veterans were then escorted into the whole school assembly, where they received a standing ovation and cheers. The staff band performed the national anthem, and Mrs. Cherko's class led the blue and gold assembly.
Veterans shared their branch and years of service, and Mrs. Daria Plummer(member of the Patriotic Committee) shared words of encouragement, reminding us to cherish our freedom and to continue to honor our veterans. Students and staff played Taps, and students waved their hands in the air as they sang "America the Beautiful."
It was a truly moving and memorable event, and we are so grateful to all of the Veterans who joined us. Thank you for your service! Preview some of our photos and videos below.
Finally, Happy Diwali to all our families who celebrate.
THANK YOU NOTE:
To our local Veterans who joined our assembly today, thank you for taking the time to celebrate with our students. We are incredibly grateful for your service and your strong sense of community. We appreciate you, and our students will forever cherish this moment. Thank you.
