Hello PV Families,
What an incredible week at Pleasant Valley — filled with learning, laughter, and community spirit! From our Preschoolers’ Fall Costume Parade, to Student Council’s Pennies for Pumpkins fundraiser for breast cancer awareness, to our exciting STEM and Instrumental Nights Open House, and finally our Readathon Friday when we dressed as our favorite book characters — the joy and energy in our building were contagious!
This month, we celebrate our Kindness Students of the Month! We are so proud of our PV students for striving to live our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Safety, and Kindness each day. A special spotlight goes to the students nominated by staff for demonstrating kindness in meaningful ways — and to all our students who show kindness in big and small moments every day.
As a gentle reminder, be sure to purchase your Bingo Night tickets if you haven’t already. This marks our 52nd Annual Bingo Night, a fun-filled tradition you won’t want to miss and a wonderful way to support our graduating Class of 2026.

Enjoy the photos below and have a fantastic weekend!

Graciously,
Esther & Jenna
