A Giant Thank You to 4th Grade Families for A Successful Work Party!

 

The next Work Party is scheduled for February 11,  2012 SATURDAY  from 9am - 1pm.
 
Families of 3rd graders are invited to attend your own personal PVS Work Party on Saturday, February 11, 2012 from 9am-1pm. Families are asked to come to a minimum of ONE per year, with each class receiving a designated weekend.
 
At these Saturday morning gatherings, we will solve minor maintenance problems in both buildings: desk repair, hinge replacement, landscaping, painting and other such jobs from a teacher-generated list of tasks. The parties will run from 9am-1pm, refreshments/lunch will be provided and children are welcome.
 
Previous work parties have been hugely successful as so many minor-but-annoying maintenance problems have been solved. Please contact Caroline Oakley with questions or concerns banjoleone@gmail.com.  Or contact, Ben Brizuela at benbrizbuilder@yahoo.com.
 
Thank You!
The Site Committee
 
 Dates for subsequent parties are:
3rd grade February 11th
2nd grade March 10th
1st grade April 14th

REMINDER

Every Thursday is an Early Release Day with school dismissing at 2pm.
