Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her. Her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:25-28
Look around our school and notice many Proverbs 31 women who are wisely and diligently helping to take care of children. What a blessing, indeed, to observe a woman who loves the Lord, walks graciously in her tasks, and models grace and kindness generously to the children and others! We have these moms in our school. It’s one of the aspects that, even visitors “feel” when they come on campus. It is a “radiance” which comes from “looking to Him first”. (Psalm 34:5) The impact they make is priceless and worthy of honor. I am so thankful for the “fragrance of Christ” they spread through our school.
Have a blessed and beautiful Mother’s Day!
Celebrating Character
PIE is sponsoring an awesome enrichment day this Tuesday, May 8, when magician, Mr. Spellman, shares some great “character counts” information with the PV students in two assemblies. Be sure to check with your children to find out what they learned.
Thank you, John McCoy and PIE, for all the special posters and framed prints posted around the school. We are blessed to have such great enrichment experiences sponsored by PIE.
Don’t Miss Out
If you attended the day of golf and/or the dinner and auction for PVCS last year, then you know what a great event many of us enjoyed. Enough money was raised to provide internet, new computers, Epson projectors and document cameras for every classroom. We were also able to purchase a promethean board (SmartBoard) and all the components to set up a technology classroom for multi-use.
This year the money raised from the golf tournament, dinner, and auction will be instrumental in enriching music, science, and arts.
Thanks to the McCarthys, Kirsten Hayse and the hardworking golf committee for the many volunteer hours they have contributed to making this fundraiser a successful, fun event. We also appreciate all the donations and sponsorships from our families and others in the community. The generosity is overwhelming and such a blessing.
Please join the excitement Friday, May 11, if you are able.
PIE Leadership Opportunities
If you would like to be a part of leadership with a terrific team of parents, then consider joining PIE as an officer. We are looking for some parents who are interested in planning enrichment opportunities and fundraising activities for our school. PIE has been instrumental in growing our school in many ways. Over the years, PVCS has been blessed abundantly by the volunteer efforts of PIE and our parents. If you are interested in serving, please contact any PIE officer or Mrs. Wilson. We would love to have you!
Many, many thanks to our current PIE officers, Terri Dawson, Donna Guglielmo, John McCoy, Amy McDade, and president, Jaime Mitchell. You have been amazing. Thank you, and all the class reps for your selfless, generous service.
