News from the Preschool: We had a fabulous month learning about everyone's family tradition. Thank you so much for sharing with us. It is a Palm Valley Preschool tradition to donate a
new book to the library on your birthday. We want to thank Wyatt Kozloff, Olivia Weibel,
Topher Karcher, and Soha Taqi for donating such wonderful books to our library. We hope you
have an awesome winter break.
News from the Lower School: This week we heard a heartfelt character speech from Rachael
Segal. Thank you Rachael.
Ah, hot chocolate and Santa! What could be better? Our students love this special visit.
Did Winter Sing warm your heart? Thank you for joining us in this musical invitation to the
holidays!
International Day presented by the First Grade students gives us all another reason to celebrate. Our students are learning how diverse our world is, and to appreciate the value in difference.
There are so many kind and generous moments in the life of our school! I am grateful for your
gifts of time, talents, tools, and things of beauty. Many thanks to Shannon Johnson and her
family for kindly sharing gorgeous handcrafted wreaths to decorate our front office inside and
outside! We all are enjoying their beauty! Thanks also to Kyle Knight and his family for sharing
cookies with the Lower School faculty. Yum!
Have a delightful holiday season! See you on January 5, 2015 when school resumes!
News from the Middle School: It was a festive Friday in Middle School on December 12 when
the Leadership Council sponsored an ugly sweater contest for all Middle School students.
Though the competition was keen, three winners emerged with the title of ugliest sweater for
their grade:
6th Grade: Chase Carroll
Volume 2014/2015
Issue 13
Dec. 19, 2014
7th Grade: Robert Arzano
8th Grade: Jake Mulé

In addition to the contest, students enjoyed holiday music, hot chocolate, and holiday cookies
provided by the Leadership Council. Thank you not only to the students, but to their parents
who baked and frosted and decorated a whole bunch of delicious cookies for the students.
Winter sports teams are anxiously awaiting the New Year when their "official" season will begin.
We are looking forward to some competitive basketball games for both our boys' and girls'
teams this season.
The entire Middle School teaching staff wants to wish our students and families the warmest of
holiday wishes and success in the New Year. We are grateful to our families who entrust their
children to us daily and we are grateful to our students who are hard-working and so kind and
considerate of their fellow students and their teachers. Best wishes to all in the coming New
Year.
News from the Upper School: We are looking for parent volunteers to bring Senior Lunch in
January. Contact Ms. Steinman if you’d like to sign up ([email protected]).
Parent Association: Thank you Chris Sloan, Dena Burke, Sandy Bock, Tracy Arzano and all
your Elves for your help with the Middle School, Upper School and Faculty Holiday Lunch. The
teachers and students felt so special on Wednesday!
