Park Village's Annual 4th and 5th Graders Cross Country Run
Tuesday, May 21st at 9:00am is the annual PV 4th & 5th Grade Cross Country Run. Come one, come all, and cheer on our 4th and 5th graders as they run a mile course around the school. All participants will receive a ribbon, and medals will be awarded to the top finishers.
We will need parent volunteers to make this event successful. Come out and help us while cheering on your child! Or if you are a parent of a child not yet in 4th or 5th grade, come help us out to see what to expect when your child does participate. If you can volunteer in any way (setup, handing out waters, directing runners, timing, photographer, clean up), please contact Inge Buchmiller at buchmilleri@gmail.com.
School iPads Due | May 20-23
We are nearing the time that we will be collecting the school-owned iPads. All iPads, chargers, and cords need to be returned to school Monday - Thursday (May 20-23) next week.
Each classroom is assigned a day and time to return their devices. Please make sure your student brings their school-owned iPad, along with the correct charger and power cord to class on the correct day. Look for a lime green handout this week that has more details.
Thank you! -- Mrs. Fleming, Librarian
All Library Books Due| May 24
The school library closes in mid-May. All student library books are due by Friday, May 24 before 1:00 PM. Parents are responsible for lost or damaged library materials.

Thank you! It’s been a pleasure to serve your children in the library this year. -- Mrs. Fleming, Librarian
Message from Mesa Verde PTSA
For those of you with incoming 6th graders at Mesa Verde - Your Mesa Verde PTSA is looking for a few new Board members for next school year:
- VP Volunteers - Works with the PTSA president, principal and teachers to coordinate volunteer assignments at the school to support student success. The main part of the job is setting up and monitoring signups for volunteer needs, such as signup genius or similar.
- Hospitality Chair - coordinates the back-to-school breakfast, usually a day or two before school starts. Also coordinates teacher/staff appreciation week in May. A great way to get to know the teachers and staff at MV.
- Directory Lead - set up the school directory
- Promotion Lead - coordinate 8th grade promotion setup/tear down
- Community Concerns - help to identify community concerns and work to bring positive change to the community
Meetings are the first Wednesday of every month during the school year from 7-8pm. Being involved with the PTSA is a great way to know what is going on and to stay involved at your student’s school.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Christi Papworth at: cpapworth1@gmail.com.
