Week of 1/7/18 - 1/11/18

We have had such a fun week!  The trip to see Elf was so much fun!   
Being in the historic Tivoli Theater is always such a great experience!
We have such a wonderful PTO!! Bowling will be a lot of fun, too. The
students were so well behaved!  I've noticed that supplies are starting to
dwindle.  Please ask your child what he/she needs to replenish as we start
a new year together. Thank you! I hope you all have a joyous and healthy
holiday. Enjoy your families and keep them close. See you all in 2019!!

Even though our weather has not been typical for Winter, here are some good
winter weather rules for PV: A quick note about recess: Children NEED boots
to be in snow- snow pants are not required, but kids should know that if they
get their clothes wet, they will be wet for the afternoon.... Snow/ice is not to
be thrown for any reason at all.  They may roll it, or build with it, but not launch
it, etc. We will have snow again; let ‘s be prepared!
