Principal's Report
A Weekly Update from Perkiomen Valley Middle School East
A Word From Dr. Clune
Our students had a great time at their '8th Grade Celebration' last night. It was wonderful to be outside with the students and celebrating the conclusion of their middle school experience. Many thanks to our East Home & School Association for organizing this fun event. Our parents really know how to throw a good party!
Happy Environment Day! I hope you found some time to be in nature today. PVSD shared out some information this morning regarding the Lenape Arboretum & Muhlenberg Woods project. Please review the 5 year plan at the website below. We are very excited about the positive impact this will have on our entire school community.
Please check our Facebook and Twitter accounts. There is a lot happening that we post there.
As always, do not hesitate to contact the counseling center or main office if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Seamus Clune, Ph.D.

Virtual Art Show
The Art Department proudly presents The 2021 Perkiomen Valley Middle School & High School Virtual Art Show! This is a Virtual Reality experience which all families in Perkiomen Valley can access via ArtSteps.com. The show features the artwork of 128 PVSD students from grades six through twelve. The artwork displayed was hand selected by both the middle school art teachers Mr. Bernholdt (East) and Ms. DiCicco (West), as well as the high school art teachers, Mr. Tom Komp, Mrs. Wendy Elser, and Mr. Bob Libby.
To access the show, use this link https://www.artsteps.com/view/606e00eefcc0d387bafe868b and sign in to the site using your email address. To navigate the site, you will use your mouse to double-click on the floor where you want to go. The blue footsteps icon will act as your cursor and wherever you click, the camera will take you to that point. To look around, you will need to left click and drag your mouse to rotate the view of the camera. You may also at any point, click in the lower left corner on the map which will take you to that specific spot.
Each artwork is interactive so if you would like to know more about the artist, medium, or grade level, click on the art and it will generate a secondary pop up window featuring this information. You will need to close this window when you are finished viewing.
After you have seen the show, please leave us a comment. The comment area is located underneath the show’s description. You may leave a message for one of the Art Department staff members or an artist that you know in the show.
Thank you for supporting The Visual Arts! We appreciate the hard work and dedication put forth by the students. This collection of work is a true testament to the resilience and determination the students of Perkiomen Valley School District have and will continue to have now and into the future.
