Thank You!

- A super thanks to Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Lazarus for taking on the challenge of Team Leaders for Prairieview’s Destination Imagination Team! Our team earned 3rd place and a trip to the State Competition

April 12th. Great job! - Thank you to the families who helped with our Market Day Fundraiser March 8. Market Day serves as

one of our biggest fundraisers, so we really appreciate the help! - Much appreciation goes to the families who attended our bowling fundraiser. It was great to see

everyone having fun!

The PV PTO would l ike to invite you to our

FREE Family Movie Night

Where: PV Multi Purpose Room

When: Friday, Apri l 11th Door and Concession Stand @

6:00

Movie Starts @ 6:30 PM

Wear your pj’s and bring your blankets and pillows too! You are welcome to

bring your own snacks/dinner. Concessions will have baked goods, drinks,

and popcorn. Prices vary from $0.50 to a $1.00

The goal of our PTO Movie Night is to provide a fun, school-appropriate evening for our students and their families. We try and find the newest movies that will be most appealing to the majority of our students. For this event we have chosen Monsters University, which has a rating of G. It is our belief that parents are the best judge of the content of movies

they feel are appropriate for their family as it would be impossible for the PTO or staff to know the individual preferences, fears, or interests of each of the students. We hope you

will be able to join us, but understand if for any reason you choose not to attend. A complete review of the movie can be found at parentpreviews.com.

Home Cool Tool : Effort and Pride

The character traits for March are Effort and Pride. In March, third

and fourth grade participated in the statewide ISAT test and demonstrated great effort and pride on their hard work! Use some of the ideas below to introduce the concepts to your child, and help them

practice what it means to show effort and pride. Discuss the concepts of Effort and Pride with your chi ld . “Today we are going to talk about what it means to use our personal best and be proud of our work.” 1. Share with your child a time that something was difficult for you and what you did to overcome the difficulty. Encourage them to share something that was difficult for them that they had to work at to accomplish. 2. Discuss with your child what they perceive their strengths to be. Also, share with your child what you feel your strengths are. Brainstorm posit ive Effort and Pride characterist ics . How do you show your best effort :

1. Don’t give up when things are hard 2. Try different ways to solve problems

How do you show you’re proud of yourself : 1. Say “Thank-You” when someone gives you a compliment 2. Take time to celebrate your achievements

Activit ies to practice and promote Effort and Pride: 1. Create a “compliment board” at home. Every time your child gives a compliment to someone or receives a compliment, add a sticker to the compliment board. 2. Display student-work at home and celebrate each other’s achievements. 3. Choose three household chores that everyone agrees on and promises to put more effort into at home.  

YOU ARE NEEDED! Dear PV Parent, Does your child love Discovery Day? Bookfair? Movie Night? Field trips? Birthday Breakfast? These are just a few of the programs your Pairieview PTO provides. But we are in trouble. Because of a lack of volunteers (not a lack of funding!), we are considering dropping these programs for next year and scaling them down this year. Many hands make light work; so if we all give a little our children will gain A LOT! If you are interested in keeping these programs in place for your Pairieview students, we need YOUR help. Please contact Tina Coleman at tinaxcoleman@ yahoo.com or 847-641-0473 TODAY. SIGN UP NOW! Give this to your child’s teacher or leave it in the office. ______________ _______________ ________________ Your Name Your Phone Your Email
