PVE is once again participating in the American Heart Associations’ Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. We will be having our fundraising event from February 3 to February 17. Our goal is to raise $2,200 so we need everyone’s help. Students will be participating in a variety of jump rope activities each day as part of their effort. Donations can be made to a participating elementary student online (heart.org/KHC), by cash, or by check payable to American Heart Association. 10% of what is earned comes back to our school as a U.S. Games gift certificate to be used to buy PVE gym equipment. Besides raising money for heart research, the AHA encourages students to live a healthy life. Parental support has been wonderful over the past few years so please consider helping out again this year. Let’s make this our best year yet.

No school (Friday 2/4) today due to a water line break near the high school. We currently have no water at the high school and the elementary school's water pressure is extremely low therefore we will need to cancel school. I do know the city is planning on working on the line starting around 7:00AM but there are no guarantees it will be fixed in time if we would run a late start. On Wednesday, February 9 we will run a normal length day and NOT have an early dismissal.

Our FFA team was on BEK TV, check it out! https://www.bek.news/TrentOnTheLoos

We will be adjusting today's basketball games in order for Garrison to get home sooner. The Boys' C-Squad game will only be 2 quarters long, starting at 4:00PM. The JV and Varsity pre-game warm-ups will be shortened as well so if you plan on coming to the game, we will be moving things along a little quicker than normal.
