#Engage, Energize, & Educate
May 13th - May 17th
Dear PVE Families,
A HUGE thank you goes out to our PVE PTO for spoiling our staff this week! We are so grateful for your generosity! Our staff here is AMAZING! Mrs. Dohoney and I appreciate all that they do on a daily basis but especially this week!
Another HUGE thank you to Alycia Casazza, Sandy Barrette, Meghan Moretti, and Sandy Lenore along with the countless volunteers who made the production of Willy Wonka possible. Also, thank you to all the cast and the crew working behind the scenes who did an OUTSTANDING job on this performance!
FIELD DAY
We are thrilled to share that we can access part of the field for Field Day. Field Day is being held on Thursday, June 6th and Friday, June 7th is our rain date.
May 31st Carnival
We need at least 21 more volunteers to make the carnival happen. See the message from the PTO below.
Dear PTO members,
If you are interested and available to volunteer at the PVES PTO End of the Year Carnival on Friday May 31st from 5:30-8:00 pm at PVES, please complete this brief form - 5/31 Carnival Volunteer Sign Ups (Carnival hours are 6-8 pm).
Any questions - please reach out to Jessica Marcaccio at jmarcaccio81@gmail.com
Thank you for volunteering! This event is only successful because of your participation!
As a reminder, to participate in school volunteer opportunities, volunteers must:
1. Review the PVES Volunteer Handbook and complete the Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement
2. Have an updated BCI check on file at the school. More info on that process here: Smithfield Schools BCI
Smithfield Elementary Volunteer Handbook

The 2023-2024 PVES PTO Executive Board
Everyday Speech
This week students viewed a video on Am I Impulsive? The video promoted alternatives when students are faced with challenges. The suggestions from the video were for students to wait and think about solutions before acting on emotion. Another suggestion was for the student to sleep on it and then act in a more meaningful (calmer) manner.
Town Ordinance on Pets
It has come to our attention that parents are bringing leashed pets and unleashing their pet on school grounds. This is not safe and is a Smithfield town ordinance. Please refrain from doing this. Thank you for your cooperation.
