Upcoming Follett Book Fair
Remember when book fairs were actually about books? Well, Park Village is be hosting a NEW Book Fair this spring: Follett Book Fair will be open March 20-27 in Room H102. The focus is on books, NOT toys. Follett Book Fairs features the best selection of the books students want to read, and only a small, purposeful assortment of literacy-related, non-book items. More information will be coming home with students in mid March. (PVE will still host a Scholastic BOGO Book Fair in June.)

Running Club Update
A New Way to Track Box Tops Participation!
Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. No more clipping. No more sending Box Tops to school. All you need is your phone. Download the ALL-NEW Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipt to find participating products. The app will automatically credit your school's Box tops earnings online. You can also give "credit" to a teacher for our annual Box Tops Contest. (Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. You can still clip and send them to your teacher.)
For more information, to watch a video on how to scan with the Box Tops Mobile App, & learn how to give "credit" to your teacher please visit the following website:
Volunteer Opportunities for 2019 - 2020
Park Village prides itself on our programs and events. However, they are all run by parent volunteers, and we need your help! We have opportunities of all types and sizes. Even one hour once a month can make a difference!
- Library - Help reshelve books. This task is constant and can happen any time of day. Perhaps you can help after morning drop-off or while waiting to pick up your child in the afternoon? You can make a difference in as little as 15-20 minutes. I just need folks to stop by regularly. Many hands make light work! No experience is required. If you’re interested, please email me at sfleming@powayusd.com, or stop by the library to chat.
- Recycling - Help sort and crush recycling. Second Wednesday of every month, 8-9 am, ESS Parking Lot. Even 15-30 minutes before school is a big help!. Contact Victor at pvesdads1@gmail.com.
- Marquee Editor in Chief(s) - Update the marquee in the front of the school with our PVE news, and help keep our families informed! Contact Gigi in the office.
Parking Lot Reminders
Please remember that the parking lot is for teachers and staff only, with the exception of the clearly marked visitor spots. We have many support staff members whose hours begin after class is in session. When they have to spend their time searching for parking off campus, it negatively impacts our student services. Thank you for your help!
