It's cold. Don't you want to do a story INSIDE? Pleasant Valley Schools has some great INSIDE events going on this week.
HONORING STUDENTS FOR THE ARTS: PTA REFLECTIONS AWARD CEREMONY
When: Thursday, January 8th 6:30pm
Where: Pleasant Valley High School Cafeteria
Why: Razzle, Dazzle! From dance to art, students will show off their creative side at this year's PTA Reflections Open House and Award Ceremony. Reflections is a nationwide PTA initiative and contest to encourage students' creative expression. Students submitted entries in six categories in October: dance choreography, film production, music composition, literature, photography and visual arts. Since then, local judges have been looking at their work. Thursday, the students will perform and find out who advances to state. It's a great chance to celebrate the arts!!!

TEACHING THE 'BRAD PITT' OF THE FUTURE
When: Saturday, January 10th all day - Kids perform at 1:00; High Schoolers perform at 3:30.
Where: Pleasant Valley High School
Why: A Star will be born this Saturday at PVHS! The Drama Club is having an all-day Children's workshop. High School thespians will teach the little ones how to act, dance, sing, stage fight and more! It all culminates in what could be the first performance for the "next big thing" (a showcase at 1:00pm and don't you want video and pictures of Brad Pitt's first performance... this is your chance at that chance!) After the showcase, the High Schoolers will perform a musical version of "Snow White." The play's not the only thing; students learn how to work as a team, mentor younger students, and try something new!
