A "flashback" from the last few days. Our amazing 4th, 5th, and 6th grade band students performed for our PVE Community. Congratulations to Andrea Austin for preparing them for our Holiday Band Concert. We are fortunate that our students have incredible art teachers in our district. The Art Show had beautiful art to share.
What a gift to have such talented artists on our staff! Stop by our D12 Faculty Art Show...you won't be disappointed!

An active morning of learning for our PVE Wolves!
Today at PVE, we hosted Hunter Kemper a Triathlon Olympian. He spoke to grades 3-6 encouraging them to always be their personal best. He talked about self-identity, growth mindset, problem solving, perseverance, relationships, and confidence.
Today our PVE Community celebrated our Active Duty Military and Veterans. Our Scouts participated in our Flag Raising Ceremony, our PVE Band played "America the Beautiful", First Sergeant, James Allen spoke to us, our students sang "God Bless the USA", and our amazing PTO provided breakfast for our Honored Guests. Sarah Neumeister created a board honoring our community heroes. PVE thanks you!
Many great things happening in our PVE classrooms. Learning to read and use higher level vocabulary, depth of complexity with non-fiction articles, and programming robots using emojis.
Halloween recovery... our Wolves are back at it!
