Pleasant Valley Weekly News
Hello PV Families, Happy Weekend! This past week at PV was a whirlwind of excitement as we celebrated Read Across America coupled with Spirit Week. Our students embraced the challenge to expand their reading horizons by increasing their reading minutes or diving into more books than usual. We're thrilled to share snapshots of our spirited days, featuring fun activities like dressing up as our favorite book characters and more. We concluded the week with our Blue and Gold Assembly, where our talented grade 5 students offered a sneak peek of their upcoming concert scheduled for Monday, March 11th at 6 pm. We extend a warm invitation to all our families to join us in supporting our grade 5 students during this special event. Mark your calendars for our upcoming Cultural Night on Thursday March 14th at 6pm, promising an evening of community building and celebration of our diverse community. We encourage students to wear their cultural attire or colors throughout the day, and we invite families to join us at 6 pm for captivating performances and delicious cuisine representing a variety of cultures. Lastly, the countdown to our author visit by Sarah Weeks continues! We're eagerly anticipating her presence on Monday, March 18th, for a day filled with literary inspiration and excitement. We are looking forward to all these activities and events. Have a great weekend! Sincerely, Esther and Jenna
