PVMS Awards Ceremony
This has been a year like no other and it is impressive to see how students managed a hybrid schedule, a virtual schedule, being in and out of school and did it with such grace. Staff at PVMS are proud of you and your accomplishments. The Awards Ceremony is a special event every year. There are so many outstanding students who deserve awards, it makes it so difficult for the awards selection. Please keep these awards in mind next year, it will give you a good goal to strive toward.
A special farewell goes to our 5th grade students who will be leaving PVMS in a few short days. We wish you all the best as middle schoolers! We know you'll do great work there!
