PV WEEKLY

Congratulations to both the girls and boys basketball teams for winning the county championship. We are pretty sure that this (both teams winning the same year) is a first in school history. Thank you to our players, coaches, and parents for representing PV well throughout the year.

Please see the following message from Pequannock Township High School regarding one of our former students, Gavin Brady:

Today we are asking you to help send strength and support to one of our own, Gavin Brady, a 9th grade student at PTHS, who has recently learned that his leukemia has returned. While in elementary school, Gavin was diagnosed with leukemia and battled it courageously with the support of his family and our community. Once again, we will rally around them with our support, strength and care. Gavin has shown incredible resilience, and we know he will continue to fight with the same courage and inspiring determination. As he begins his treatment journey once again, we want him to feel the love and encouragement of his Golden Panther family.

Pequannock Township High School is hosting a “Game On Gavin” fundraiser on February 21st at 7:00 pm when our Golden Panthers boys basketball team takes on the Roxbury Gaels in our final regular season home game. As he battles leukemia, Gavin continues to love basketball and watches the games regularly from home and in person when he can. We want him to know that his supporters in the Golden Panther community and beyond are teaming up with him in his fight. On Friday, February 21st we would like to have an "Orange Day" in the district. All fans who attend the game that night are encouraged to wear orange as we cheer for Gavin and the Golden Panthers. “Game On Gavin” T-shirts are available for pre-order at: https://hs.pequannock.org/students/game-on-gavin-shirts and will be available for sale at the gate. Donations will also be accepted at the door. All proceeds will go to support Gavin and his family during this time. Thank you for your compassion and support for Gavin and his family -- together we will help Gavin continue to be #pantherstrong!

Students and staff are encouraged to wear red on Friday, February 14th to recognize women's heart health awareness month. We also do this in remembrance of Carol Cardoza, SJG nurse for 19 years.

This process will be taking place over the next few weeks for rising 9th graders and after the third marking period for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Feel free to reach out to your child's school counselor with any questions.

The PV Canteen is tonight. Students were given permission slips in school (the slip can also be found on the website). If your child did not purchase a ticket this week, they may do so at the door for $10. The event goes from 6:00-8:00. Students must stay for the entire event.

Our district is engaged in a Portrait of a Graduate project that involves input from staff, alumni, families, community members and students. The end goal is to align our efforts and embed key competencies that students will need for success in the future. As parents, please do not forget to consider taking this important survey that should take 10-15 minutes to complete. We hope to gather as many responses as possible by Friday 2/14/25. Some question numbers may appear out of order; this is for data collection purposes. Simply answer the questions as they appear in the survey. Thank you and we look forward to sharing our progress with you!
