The annual PTSA Reflections program is in full swing and we encourage your participation. The deadline for entries is October 24th, 2024.

Each year, the PTA Reflections program offers students a platform to express their unique perspectives and interpretation of a student-created theme. For the 2024-2025 school year, the theme is “Accepting Imperfection,” which serves as a powerful reminder that our flaws and mistakes are just as much a part of us as our strengths and are a natural and beautiful part of being human.

To find more information go to the link below and then click on the PV Peninsula icon and enter. Also, on the entry form, please enter the email address that you’re most likely to check so we can contact you if needed.
