Students in our Elementary classrooms will enjoy one last field trip for some end-of-the-school-year fun!
When: Monday, June 10
Where: Look Park, Northampton/Florence
Time: Drop off your children at the normal time. They will leave PVMS at 8:45 a.m.
Late Pick Up: Pick your children up from PVMS around 3:30 p.m.
Fee: $5 per student (The total fee is $33, but our fundraising has offset the cost.) Please click here to pay or send exact cash.
*If you meet us at the park, there is a $5 entrance fee to pay upon arrival. Those with a military ID or handicap placard have free vehicle entry.*
Gear: Students should come to school wearing their bathing suits under their clothes as the changing area gets crowded. Students should bring a bag with a towel, a change of clothes, water, sunscreen (optional), and insect repellant (optional). *Please leave valuables at home.*
Support Us: We cannot do this without your support! We will need donations through Sign Up Genius for our potluck picnic lunch. We’ll also need help with transporting the food and supplies to and from the park. Once at the park, we will need volunteers to set up, serve food, and supervise students. Please contact your child(ren)’s teacher if you would like to volunteer.

All students – including toddlers – must be picked up at their normal dismissal times, or by 3:00 p.m., whichever comes first.
There is no after school program that day
After dismissal, join us for the Summer Send-Off Event put on by our amazing PCO!
ALL students are welcome!
If your child is not in school this day, or is a half-day student who has already left for the day, they are still welcome to come back for this event.
The PCO has sponsored an Ice Cream Truck to visit our school
Every student will be able to choose one free ice cream treat. (There are gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and fat-free options). Siblings (who are not students) and parents are welcome to purchase additional treats from the truck.
Then, join us on the playground for music and one last play time together before summer begins. The truck will be there from 2:30-4:00. (All students must have a parent or guardian with them to receive the ice cream and stay to play.) -
