Gym Renovation Pleasant Valley Bible Church, Pleasant Valley Christian School, and your P.I.E. Board are jointly venturing to renovate and restore the existing school gym. We are starting with a new floor composed of wood that is resistant to scratching. The manufacturer of the flooring has rehabilitated many college gyms as well as sports arenas. An important feature of our new floor will be its ability to ease shock on developing joints. The ceiling is also in for a major restoration, along with soundproofing for the entire gym. Finally, the entrance to the gym will be home to the new P.V.C.S. Scripture Wall. The renovated gym will be versatile enough to switch from volleyball to basketball, general student assemblies, and much, much more. With growing obesity in children and an increasing lack of emphasis on health and community in our society, the improvements to our gym will help provide our children with an excellent opportunity learn the importance of a healthy body and exercise. This will create a wonderful new area for learning and fun. Please join the P.I.E. Board with this exciting venture by participating in our fundraisers. Your continued support is what creates such a special and unique environment at PVCS. Thank you! Career Day Success What a wonderful learning experience this day was. Once again Career Day was a hit! The P.I.E. Board and students would like to send a big "Thank You" to all the wonderful volunteers and speakers. Without these individuals this day would have not motivated all these young minds. Thank You! Day with an Artist The P.I.E. board will be starting the new year with a wonderful new line up for Day with an Artist! We have scheduled a composer by the name of David Earle to come and share with us about music. He lives and works in the Bay area, where his career as a composer has allowed him to work on numerous projects with television and film. He can't wait to work with our children here at P.V.C.S.	Day with an Author This February we will have the pleasure of welcoming Renee Meloche to our school. She will be visiting us from Michigan to share her interesting life and passion for writing. Her books tell true stories that inspire children. She comes from a Christian background and grew up as a missionary. As we get nearer to her visit, you will have the opportunity to purchase some of her books. Look for more details in February! Innisbrook We have finished our first fundraiser of the year and the results were close to last year's. The K-8's earnings were approximately $6865.00, which will be used to help with our gym renovation project and our teacher gifting. The board would like thank Parris Stevens again and all the volunteers that helped to run this fundraiser. See's Candies Our holiday fundraiser this year is See's Candies. We will be offering three different See's programs. We hope that we might encourage families as well as corporate orders with this fundraiser. BoxTops We have had our first contest of the year and we earned $360.00. Way to go P.V.C.S.; what a lot of clipping! Our next contest will be in the spring, so please keep up the good work.

It was wonderful to receive so much help with this quick two day project. God bless all of you that helped. Thank you to Mrs. Moss for her fun and interesting talk at our November meeting. Not only did we learn about some of the special ways she teaches and motivates our 5th graders, but we also learned about developmental characteristics of kids at that age. What a treat!
