Pleasant View Elementary School

Kindness Committee Update: On Monday, 11/14/21, Pleasant View will celebrate World Kindness Day. Our theme is "Tied Together with Kindness". Adults and students are invited to wear a tie-dyed shirt, a shirt with a kindness message, or your Pleasant View shirt to show support for spreading kindness at school, home, and throughout our community. We will also be kicking off our Feinstein Kindness Tree. Teachers will be provided with Kindness Leaves in their mailboxes. Teachers and/or students can write acts of kindness they witnessed throughout the day on these leaves. Please return the leaves to either Ms. Sampson or Mrs. King. The leaves will be displayed on our Feinstein Kindness Tree outside of the main office.

Happy Veterans Day! The Pleasant View family thanks all veterans, past and present, for their invaluable service!
