December 13, 2024

Dear Pleasant Valley Families,
As we transition from 2024 to the new year, I want to take a moment to acknowledge our incredible staff and families—the two arms working hand in hand to make PV an amazing place for all our children.
To our PTO executive board, committees, parent volunteers, and everyone who generously donates to various causes and events—thank you for your unwavering support. To our dedicated staff—teachers, related service providers, custodians, substitute teachers, and office staff—your commitment ensures that PV continues to thrive as a place of academic excellence and belonging for all.
We wrapped up the week and the year with our holiday assembly, which included students singing, performing the Nutcracker dance, and our staff delighting everyone with their rendition of the "12 Days of Christmas." We were also treated to a spectacular mini holiday concert by our high school Choral Spectrum, making the celebration truly unforgettable.
As we say farewell to our friend Mr. St. Onge, let us honor his legacy by living each day with gratitude and love. See photos below in memory of Mr. St. Onge.
As we welcome the new year, I wish you and your families joy, love, peace, good health, and happiness.
Joyfully & Gratefully,
Mrs. Boakye-Dattey & Mrs. Trudeau
