Pleasant Valley Weekly News
Hello PV families,
I hope you are all well. This week was filled with learning and many fun activities. Our PV Student Spotlight at the Board of Education meeting showcased students from Mrs. Reykdal's 2nd grade class and Ms. Mendola's 5th-grade class presenting our Partner Pals Program, which pairs lower elementary students with upper elementary students in fostering meaningful connections and mentorship through community-building activities throughout the year.
Read Across America starts from Monday to Friday. Please encourage your students to read, read, read. Reading is the key to learning and success. Our student council has paired our Spirit week with our love of reading. Please see the flyer below for details.
Our 5th-grade concert is just around the corner. We invite all families to join us for our Grade 5 concert on March 11th at 6 pm.
Please note that Early Release Wednesdays and Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTC) begin on March 13th. A gentle reminder to sign up for your child(ren)'s conference. Please see below for additional upcoming events and announcements.
Finally, kindly use this link to complete the 3rd session of our afterschool program.
