December 2015
Principal's Corner
Dear Parents:
We are getting into a busy part of our school year. The craziness of the holiday season is upon us. No matter how each family recognizes the December holidays, the hustle and bustle that defines this time of year can impact all of us. As we start to experience more winter-like weather, excitement grows. Please set aside each evening some quality family time, and a great activity would be to read with your child. The best gift you can give your child is “your time”. We hope that each of our families has an opportunity for quality time with their families and friends during our winter break.
On behalf of the Peak View Elementary School faculty and staff, we wish all of our students and families a happy holiday season. We hope that 2016 brings continued good health and much happiness to everyone.
Thank you for your continued support of PKVES.

I hope everyone had a great break! We're gearing up for a busy and fun month!
The box top contest was a huge success, please continue to collect as there will be more contests to come.
Please come out to support the Untied Way and have a lot of fun doing it! On December 17th some of our staff will be competing against some of the WATCH D.O.G.S. in a basketball game at MMS! We are asking for a $1.00 donation at the door to enjoy an evening of laughs that won't disappoint.
I Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your continued dedication to PKVES! We have such a wonderful school community and have so many wonderful opportunities here at this school thanks in a large part to you, and your willingness to donate time and energy!
Thank you all!
