Last Week's ROCKSTARS
Erin Howard for being a helpful friend and coworker!
Kara Karabanovs for being a breath of fresh air and saying hello to all of the kids!
Dawn Schatzel for being YOU and doing your job with a smile!
Christine Dougherty for helping Room 143 on 2.12.2020 when a student became sick!
Nicole Eschweiler has a staff shout out to Vickie Yates!
A student named Ben McNamara made a mascot for the cafeteria a month ago and gave it to Mrs. Yates. He named him Sammy Strawberry and drew a picture. Well, Mrs. Yates shared it with her boss and he was impressed. Everyone in the class then got to sample strawberries to honor the mascot Ben created. I wanted to give a shout out to Ben for his creativity and Mrs. Yates for going above and beyond to recognize a student! So awesome!
You all are PV ROCKSTARS and make a difference every day!
If you would like to nominate a staff member for being an absolute Rockstar, use the Thank You slips in the lounge!

From the Curriculum & Instruction Department
We want to continue our goal of a clear and coherent curriculum linked to authentic literacy. In order to do this, we want to support teachers with the pacing and alignment of the curriculum. There is a need for elementary is Grade K-5 Science curriculum team writing/pacing. Please use the below google link if you are interested in developing pacing over the summer. All teachers will receive hourly stipends for their completed work. A meeting to discuss the framework and procedures will occur after Spring Break.
