Weekly Newsletter #9
Dear PV Families,
What a fantastic week it has been at our school! Our I/POP students delighted our K-5 students with a wonderful fall parade, showcasing unity and school spirit. Pleasant Valley Elementary was renamed after our top Read-a-thon fundraiser Mathieu Lydecker as Chicken Nuggets Elementary for the day. Students chanted the new name as they walked into school. Our grade 5 pennies for pumpkins fundraiser concluded today with over $100 to donate to the National Breast Cancer Fund.
Additionally, we had our first whole school assembly to prepare for our upcoming Veterans Day event, bringing our entire community together. Our students displayed their panther PRIDE by showing Patience, Respect, Independence, Determination, and Excellence. We eagerly anticipate welcoming our veterans on Nov 9th for our assembly and breakfast at 9:15 AM in the LMC. We're grateful to all veterans and their families who shared pictures; these will be displayed on our school monitors as we honor and recognize their service and sacrifice for our freedom.
Exciting learning experiences continue as our 5th graders received a special presentation from Collins Aerospace and the RTX Technology Research Center. This was followed by a hands-on session where engineers provided support for the students in launching the rockets they had created. A special thanks for our STEM teacher and our visiting engineers.
A few important reminders:
All visitors, including volunteers, are kindly requested to sign out with the Safety Officer before leaving the building.
Upcoming Events:
Veterans Day on Nov 9, 2023
PTO Virtual Meeting, rescheduled to Nov 9th.
PTO Bingo Night on Nov 11 from 5:30-8 PM at TEM.
Finally, don't forget to enjoy the extra hour this weekend as we turn our clocks back.
Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in our school community!
Sincerely,
Esther & Jenna
