#Engage, Energize, & Educate
May 20th - May 24th
Dear PVE Families,
Students in grades 3rd-5th took their RICAS Math Testing this week. We were very proud to learn from teachers that students were utilizing their scrap paper and exhibiting stamina during their testing. Way to go, PVE Panda’s!
Honoring Katherine Young
The Smithfield School District has established a scholarship in memory of our sweet colleague and friend Katherine Young.
100% of the funds raised through the sale of these items will go to fund the scholarship and continue her legacy.
All items will be delivered to Smithfield High School. Production will begin when the pop-up store closes on May 28th.
Please share and support this special cause.
Attention Fifth Grade Families!
A women’s denim jacket was left behind at the GMS orientation on Thursday. Please contact 949-2056 if it belongs to you.
Zero Waste Day At PVE!
Jim Corwin from the RI School Recycling Project in partnership with our Fifth Grade Student Council will hold our annual ZERO WASTE Day which is Friday, May 24th. It means do not take more food that you can eat and eat everything you take from the lunch line. We are promoting unnecessary waste!
This Friday, when students eat everything they take or bring for lunch, they’ll get a sticker! Students also have the opportunity to win one of these prizes…
· An Ocean State Escape Room Experience for 4
· A Gift Card for 2 to Rock Spot Climbing Gym
· A Gift Card for 2 to Sky Zone
Zero Waste Day will be explained to students throughout next week on our daily announcements.
