Description

Dear PVIS Social Studies Parents and Graduates of 2020,

As the school year comes to a close, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for all that you have done these last few months of Trimester 3.

To the Parents and Guardians, thank you for your time, effort, patience and support.  I greatly value and appreciate all that you have done to assist, support, guide and encourage your student during this very challenging and unique time.

To the students, thank you for your effort, engagement, participation, adaptability and persistence.  You rose to this unplanned and overwhelming challenge and performed admirably.  I am so proud of you and more importantly, you should be proud of yourselves.  These character traits will always serve you well in life. 

Graduates/Class of 2020, I wish you all the best in life.  May good health, happiness and success be with you always.  Please know that you will always hold a very special place in my heart. 

Stay in touch.  Stay awesome.

Peace, Love and Social Studies!

Dear Social Studies Students,
We are living in an exciting and historic time!  We are on the cusp of many social, political and economic changes.  
 
Please take time this week to learn about protest movements of the past and present.
What was the spark?
What forms of protest were used?
What were the goals of the movement?
What were the lasting results of the movement?
 
Connect with your family and friends to discuss the civil rights movement of today and how it is similar to and/or different from past movements.
 
What events and changes are taking place in our community today?
 
Stay informed!  Stay engaged!
