PVMS Counseling Team Earns National Recognition!
We are excited to share the PVMS counseling department has been recognized by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) as a model program. This new certification or RAMP (Recognized ASCA Model Program) status shows that our counseling teams is committed to delivering school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model framework. The RAMP designation demonstrates to the rest of the PVMS team, the 27J schol board, to our families and the community at large that the counseling program at PVMS is committed to supporting the mission of the school and district and ensure that the whole child is considered in all that we do. There are currently only 4 other middles schools in the state of colorado with RAMP certification!
We are beyond grateful for the amazing work that Mrs. Riessen, Mrs. Gouveia, and Mrs. Nelson do every day and are proud that ASCA also recognizes their talents and hard work!
Parent Volunteers Needed for Hiring Process
We are excited to begin hiring for the upcoming school year and will be holding initial rounds of interviews following spring break during the evenings of March 26, 27 and 27. We are excited to be adding an elective class this coming year. Parent voice and partnership is essential to all that we do so we are looking for a couple of parents to be part of our interview team.

It's Wish Month! - Help PVMS support Make-a-Wish!
It's Wish Week! In the last eight years, PVMS has raised $30,527 for Make-a-Wish!! We are one of the top contributors in the state out of middle school participation. Most importantly, we have increased awareness about this important cause and how generosity and kindness can have a huge impact for all involved.
Wish week is a spirit week where we raise as much money as we can for our PVMS Wish Kid, Liam. Liam is five years old and his wish is to go to Disney World. We ask that students donate $1 to dress up each day or donate whatever they choose. If students are unable to donate, they can participate by giving an act of kindness each day! The spirit days are all about Liam's favorite things:
Remaining Spirit Days:
Wednesday: Blue out day- Wear blue as it is Liam's favorite color!
Thursday: Luau day- Moana and Maui are Liam's favorite characters
Friday: Super hero day- Wear superhero clothes or dress up like one
Students can also purchase snacks from our snack cart all week. A huge thank you to all of you who donated snacks!! If you would still like to donate, please see our AMAZON WISH LIST.
