Principal's Update 11/7/2021

 
 
 
 
Sea Kings Families,
 
We kicked off National Gratitude Month with so much to be grateful for! As we have done in years past, we invite you to take part in our Sea King Gratitude Challenge by sharing what you are grateful for by CLICKING HERE
 
Thank you to our Booster Club and PTSA for always supporting us! Our flag football and girls volleyball teams wrapped up their season this past week at MBMS. Coach Will (a Sea King parent) and Coach Ciauri (our PVIS teacher) stepped up to lead the programs this year, and we cannot thank them enough. Team sports are beneficial to our kids because they must work with their teammates towards one collective team goal, and our community did just that. We are leading by example and working together towards our number one goal: OUR KIDS. 
 
We have Fulcrum on campus Tuesday (11/9) and Wednesday (11/10), running community circles and group projects with our 6th-grade students. This activity is always very popular with our students and an excellent way for our newest Sea Kings to get to know their peers. Thank you to our PTSA for funding the activity! 
 
Spirit Wear was given to students this Wednesday and Thursday. Our awesome PTSA Spirit Wear reps will contact any families/students that did not pick up their order and offer an opportunity to pick up this weekend from a local residence. Thank you PTSA and Spirit Wear Reps!
 
Our leadership students took a field trip to PVHS to meet and collaborate with their ASB students on Fridays. The meeting was a tremendous success, and all of the students had a great time. I was very impressed with the PVHS ASB student's enthusiasm and willingness to mentor our students. Likewise, our leadership students asked great questions, took every moment in, and will undoubtedly relay what they learned to our entire student body! November 19th is our first-class competition of the year- details to come! 
Many thanks to Mrs. Schofield (PVIS Leadership) and Mrs. Maxwell (PVHS ASB Coordinator) 
  
No School on Thursday, November 11th in honor of Veteran's Day.
 
Lastly, Dr. Cherniss updated our District masking policy November 1st Update.  
 
Have a great week!
