Putnam Valley Middle School

PVMS is participating in the national No Name-Calling Week. The use of hurtful language, self-respect, respect for others and making positive choices will also be important topics highlighted this week. As part of the event, Mrs. Castrillon, our school guidance counselor, and Jayden Marshall, 8th grade Student Government Representative, organized a food drive for our local food pantry. The results were outstanding.

We hope that you are enjoying our Daily Announcements. If you wish to unsubscribe, please email PVMSA@pvcsd.org and let us know.

Don’t miss out on a last chance to create a yearbook booster/advertisement for the PVMS 2012 yearbook. You also have the opportunity to send your child a message in the yearbook or create an advertisement for your personal business. Please contact Miss Cavalli, our yearbook advisor, for additional information at scavalli@pvcsd.org.

We are in the second week of the PTA sponsored PARP (Parents as Reading Partners) program. Students should bring in their PARP slips on Friday mornings to be eligible for a weekly prize raffle. Additionally, there are some PARP Dress-up days:
Feb. 3 – Wear your Favorite Football Jersey
Feb. 10 – Wear your Black and White like a Penguin for PARP "March Into Reading"
Feb. 14 – Wear your RED for Read Every Day
Feb. 17 – PARP Pajama Day!

Please mark your calendars for two upcoming events. The Putnam Valley Education Foundation will be having their Annual Auction on March 3rd at Camp Combe from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. The proceeds from the auction help to fund grants for teachers and students. Since 2003 the foundation has contributed nearly $90,000 to the District. For more information, please go to: www.pvefny.org. We have also posted two flyers, one for the Auction and the other to purchase tickets. Please find them under the Notices tab and outside events.

We also have a change in date for our “Straight Talk” program. It is now scheduled for May 24th. This is a popular evening that discusses important issues for parents and students. More information to come.

We thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Edward J. Hallisey
Principal
