Happy Thanksgiving Putnam Valley! 

This week we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of Putnam Valley Middle School, which first opened in 1972. This milestone provides us an opportunity to recognize how our schools create and foster community. Many of our current PVCSD parents and grandparents, staff members, and even yours truly, can easily recall their time at PVMS, what the building looked like, the teachers who impacted them, and the friendships they made. The transformation of the cafeteria, upgrades to the bathrooms, and the addition of learning spaces are appreciated by all and make a difference for our students. As we reflect on what we are thankful for, Putnam Valley Middle School, its students and staff, both past and present, are certainly on the list. 

I am also thankful for the resiliency of our students and the dedication of our staff. They amaze me each and every day. Putnam Valley is a very special place, a community that always comes together to support each other through challenges and to celebrate milestones and achievements. I often see examples of this community support and appreciation, and it reminds me what a privilege it is to serve this community.  

I am thankful to see our students active, energized, and challenged to be their best selves. Staff members are embracing change by implementing new instructional programs and adopting innovative and research-based practices.

Throughout the holiday season, please continue to look out for each other, lend a hand, donate to a worthy cause, and reach out to an old friend or neighbor. It is my goal this year to not only identify what I am grateful for, but to go the next step and let those around me know how grateful I am for them.  

Thank YOU for your partnership.  

We are always stronger together. Take care and stay well.

Thank You Veterans!

During the month of November, we take time to recognize the sacrifices made by our veterans, who served our country with pride. Thank you for keeping us safe and protecting our freedom!

It is with great pride and honor that we announce the founding of the Putnam Valley Athletic Hall of Fame. The Athletic Hall of Fame will serve as a way of celebrating and maintaining the heritage and tradition of the successful athletes, coaches, contributors, and athletic programs at Putnam Valley High School. Induction into the Putnam Valley Athletic Hall of Fame emphasizes the success and impact that graduates, coaches, teams, and contributors have had on the Putnam Valley School District and community through athletics. Inductees to this prestigious honor will serve as role models for the current student body.

As part of the Putnam Valley Central School District’s focus on continuous growth for all, the Putnam Valley Athletic Hall of Fame Committee invites all members of the Putnam Valley community to nominate eligible candidates for consideration for this prestigious honor. This award honors those whose on-field performance, leadership, contributions, and character exemplify outstanding achievement in their sport and/or service to the athletic program. An honoree’s spirit and leadership are worthy of recognition and have inspired praise and gratitude among his or her peers. The nomination deadline is April 1st.

The inaugural Putnam Valley Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on June 12, 2023, alongside our first annual Varsity Athletics Award Ceremony.

Thank you for your continued support and celebration of our Putnam Valley student-athletes and athletic programs.
