Message from the President

Dear Plavan Families,

January was full of smiles thanks to our Read-A-Thon celebrations! Students had so much fun enjoying the prizes they earned, from Hawaiian Day and Pajama Day to the unforgettable Silly String the Principal and a well-earned Popsicle Party during their extra recess. It was wonderful to see our campus buzzing with excitement and joy. Thank you to our students for their enthusiasm, our families for their support, and our staff for helping make these moments so special. This is what our school community is all about!

Sincerely,

Becky Obregon

PTO President
