Pleasant Valley Weekly News
Dear PV Families,
Thank you for the extravagant celebration of our amazing teachers. A special thanks to our PTO and our parents for their generosity. Our staff certainly felt the love, and we are truly grateful for the gift cards, the drinks, the luncheon, and more. Our PV staff go over and beyond the call of duty everyday, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of them.
In our preschool, we had a visit from the fire department, where the children enjoyed taking turns using the fire hose. Please see the photos below. Additionally, in preschool, after reading the book "A Gift from Amma," Miss Dhee shared her clothing and jewelry from India. See the photos below.

Have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day to all our mothers.

Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month
In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, we’ve collected our favorite books featuring Asian and Pacific Islander characters created by Asian or AANHPI authors or artists. Formerly known as Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage month, the name change in 2022 wished to highlight the many unique cultures and diverse experiences people identifying as AANHPI have even though these groups are often lumped together as “Asian.”
Asian Americans are often left out of view of US history. But their lives—and their art—are an essential part of the nation’s story. See how Asian American artists have interpreted pivotal events of the past 100 years.
Learning in the sunshine!
Our 5th graders got to enjoy one of their last days at PV under our oak tree in our outdoor classroom space!
