A Message from the Principal
Dear PVES Families,
Hello and happy March! If you're like me you're hoping this month ushers in warmer temperatures, the end of snow and lots of sunshine. We've had an awkward winter this year and I won't be sad to see it go!
We started off March with Book Character Day here at school! Check out all the pictures on our facebook page! We look forward to celebrating reading this month at school with our Funniest Book Tournament! You can check outI our official book pairings or bracket below! Be sure to ask your student about the books. Our assembly to wrap up the event is on March 21st - we'll reveal which book gets voted our Funniest Book of 2019!!!
Have a fantastic month and a wonderful spring break at the end of it! We hope you your family are able to enjoy some down time together during the last week of March while students are off from school!
Sincerely,
Sara Hammill
Principal
