Dear Sea King Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing weekend. As we enter the third full week of school, our Sea Kings will celebrate Yellow Ribbon Week. This week is a reminder to all of us to focus on kindness in our interactions. To me, this means seeking opportunities for generosity, assuming positive intentions, and providing support to those in need. I encourage our entire Sea King community to participate in this week's activities and actively engage in showing kindness across our school and beyond.
I would like to show my gratitude to our amazing Sea King family for their continued support of our school. From our teacher and counselors, support staff, custodians, and grounds keepers, we are lucky to have this phenomenal group who keep our school moving in such a positive direction. The generosity of our families is second to none and I am so grateful for your ongoing assistance. Together, we make our Sea King community incredible!
Here's to a week filled with kindness!
Sincerely,
Dr. Trista Ramirez
Proud PVHS Principal

Don't forget to wear yellow on Thursday, Kings!

Ms. Wei's Chinese Class Learns about the Moon Festival
September 10th, the Fifteenth Day of the Eighth Month per the Lunar Calendar, is Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival aka the Moon Festival.
Ms. Wei's Chinese students in all levels learned about this important holiday through various projects. They presented their work via group presentations, singing, dancing, speech and writing. Their favorite part of the lesson was to have a life celebration in Ms. Wei's classroom.
Students enjoyed Moon Cakes, variety of traditional food and drinks. All had a fun, meaningful and unforgettable learning experience.
Ms. Wei and her students wish all Sea Kings a Happy Moon Festival!"

Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools Debra Duardo is inviting students to apply for the 2022-23 Superintendent Student Advisory Council. The Superintendent Student Advisory Council was formed to bring students' views into conversations and decision-making about public education.

Students are currently being recruited to apply to serve on the advisory council. The group will meet virtually on a quarterly basis beginning Fall 2022 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Interested students will need to complete an application. They will also be required to submit a parent legal/guardian consent form to participate.
ELIGIBLE STUDENTS:
