Letter From the Principal
Sea Turtle Families,
Last week we marked a significant milestone as a school and community because we ended the
first semester and began the second one. We are over half-way through the year! In many ways, the
last few months have felt a bit like Groundhog Day, which we celebrate tomorrow. Every day, we’ve
been following the same strict safety protocols that have been in place from the beginning. We check
every mask in the morning, wash our hands, maintain social distancing when possible and utilize desk
barriers in class when 6 feet is not possible. Everyone’s commitment to these daily procedures has
enabled us to have an amazing first half of the year with countless achievements worth celebrating. I
cannot thank our students, our teachers, our staff members, our families, and our community members
enough for all doing your part so our students can come to school every day to learn. The realization
that all our stakeholders have made sacrifices for our students makes the daily grind of our safety
protocol so well worth it for me. Everyone is working harder to make this happen for our kids. . . and
that is what makes our school and community so awesome.
Speaking of awesome, our PTO has gone above and beyond this year to provide for our school in
creative ways due to the limitations on parent visitors to our campus. Our virtual and socially distanced
Turtle Trot was a resounding success and planning is now underway for our Lazzara Virtual Spring Fair
which will include raffle baskets and virtual silent auctions. We are always looking for donations from
national and local businesses, so if you’re interested, please let PTO know! In addition, we are looking
for parents who really want to volunteer here at school and help provide valuable experiences for our
students and teachers. While we know the safety protocols have severely limited the volunteer
opportunities to our parents, the PTO and I are already preparing for the post-pandemic era where we
can return to normalcy. Please email wodehouse9779@gmail.com to let her know you’re ready to join
our amazing squad of volunteers in whatever capacity you feel comfortable with. Thank you so much in
advance for your commitment to our school.
Finally, our School Advisory Council (SAC) survey is open and I’m hoping you’ll take a few minutes
of your time to fill it out. The SAC survey is great way for me and our team here at PVPV Rawlings to
improve our service to our community. Please click here to fill out the short survey.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. This month, our students will be learning about these contributions from our morning announcements and their classroom teachers.

Lost & Found:
If your child has lost something, they may look in our Lost &
Found on the Cafeteria stage at either school. Items not picked
up will be donated at the end of the school year.
**Please be sure to provide your child with a refillable
water bottle daily. Due to covid, the fountains are
only for bottle filling. Thank you for your help!**

Hello families! Our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association with KIDS HEART CHALLENGE. Over the next few weeks, our students (grades 3-5), will be having fun learning about their hearts with the Heart Heroes while raising money to help fund lifesaving research. Our school goal is to raise as much as we can, and in addition to helping the American Heart Association, our school can earn FREE equipment!! This is a great program to help students learn about their hearts, the importance of exercise, and how they can make a difference for kids with "special hearts". Students will be able to sign up and raise money online by visiting heart.org/kidsheartchallenge. Students will be getting much more information during their PE classes!!
