Flowers 
 K-8 Corner
Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. With all of the blooming and growing going on outside of the classroom, the teachers have decided to bring some of it inside. Students will be studying about gardening and healthy food choices. This is also the time of year when butterflies make their appearance. Students will be able to watch the life cycle in person as we welcome caterpillars in the class and watch as they make their transition to butterflies! With all these exciting activities, you don't want to miss out! 
See you in the classroom!
Mrs. Meck, Mrs.Butler, Ms. Pavolini

Students need to bring a snack/lunch with them if they are at PVCS during lunchtime. As stated in the Safety Plan, they may not leave the PVCS area. BE SAFE AND STAY ON CAMPUS!    
 
Student Cell Phones must be turned off while at PVCS. Students may use the school phone and parents may call the office if they need to contact their child. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our Computer Lab and Study Hall quiet.
