October is Try Hard and Do Your Best Month
YOUR PTA DOLLARS AT WORK . . . .
Hello Harrison Township Families!
We are happy to announce that the PTA has recently been able to fund the purchase of 3 new much needed basketball hoops for PVS! They are located on the “blacktop up top” section behind the school and they look fabulous! If you get the chance, be sure to take a look. We hope all of our kiddos are able to enjoy them. Thank you to all of our families for your support of the PTA. Without your help, we couldn’t make things like this possible.
Mrs. Jen Bowen, PTA President
HALLOWEEN AT PVS, PLEASE READ
