Dear Pleasant Valley Families,
Our PTA has applied for the National PTA School of Excellence designation. The process includes a fall parent survey where family and staff input is collected and used to create goals and implement action steps to achieve those goals. It is now time for our families to take the spring survey. Please use this link to read a letter from our PTA and access the link to take the survey so we can gather your input.
As always, thank you for your partnership with Pleasant Valley! We are so appreciative of all of our Pleasant Valley families. Should you ever have any questions, concerns, or just a terrific idea you would like to share, please email me at bokas@parmacityschools.org or call the main office at 440.885.2480.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Stephanie Boka

WAGS (Working Animals Giving Support for Kids) was awesome! Thank you to those who sent in towel donations. They will be used for the service dogs in training.
We have been working hard on our Fourth Grade Farewell celebration. This is a student-only event, where kids will have the opportunity to commemorate their last days in the elementary building.
PV PTA won two awards from the Parma Council of PTA's:
- Shine On Unit Award, First place
- Spreading Sunshine, Silver level
PLEASE take a few minutes to complete the School of Excellence survey included in the letter above. This will aid us in our final stages of becoming a National School of Excellence!
We hosted our installation dinner on 5/10.
Congratulations to the newly installed PTA Board:
President – Antoinette Goins (Toni)
1st VP – Erin Fisher
Events – Jodi Flanigan
