Miss Pellin's Post
November 9th to November 11th

We had a boo-tiful time at our Halloween Party and Halloween Parade. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make it possible. The class had so much fun!  

I really enjoyed meeting with each of you for conferences.  It was so nice to sit down and talk with you about your child.  If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.  

There will not be school on Monday, November 7th and Tuesday, November 8th.  Please plan accordingly.  

If anyone has a veteran in their family, we are inviting veterans to come into PV on Veteran's Day, 11/11, to say the Pledge of Allegiance with our students.  If he/she will be attending, we ask that you RSVP with the name of the veteran, years and branch of service, and his/her relation to our Prairieview student to Kathi Tannhauser at ktannhauser@ccsd66.org by Wednesday, November 9th.
