Performances celebrating the Year of the Snake captivated the audience, with each grade level showcasing their learning and artistic creativity through dance, song, and narration. After each performance, families had the opportunity to explore an art gallery featuring exceptional artwork created by students.
"This celebration is an outstanding opportunity to highlight the incredible work and talent of our students throughout the year. We are incredibly proud to be able to share the Lunar New Year with our school community,” shared Principal Brett Thielbar. “This really is an entire school-wide event and collaboration. All of our students, staff, and traditional and DLI school families work incredibly hard to plan and organize this incredible showcase each year; we are so grateful for everything they do to celebrate the excellence of all students at PV."
