📚 Just 15–20 minutes of reading each day and a little time spent on Summer Bridge packets can make a BIG difference when school starts in August.
Our PVF Pandas have worked so hard this year—let's keep that momentum going all summer long! 🐼❤️ Every page they read and every activity they complete helps build confidence and keeps their skills sharp for a successful start to the new school year.
We hope everyone has a fun, safe, and memorable Independence Day weekend! 🇺🇸 Happy reading, and don't forget those Summer Bridge packets!

Research shows that many students experience a decline in reading skills over the summer months. Just a few minutes of reading each day can make a big difference in helping children maintain the progress they've worked so hard to achieve during the school year.
Whether it's reading a favorite book, visiting the library, listening to audiobooks, or exploring new topics, every opportunity to engage with literacy helps keep young minds active and growing.
Let's work together to keep our Pandas learning, exploring, and thriving all summer long! 🐼💙

Today, we proudly celebrated our 4th grade students during their Promotion Ceremony as they closed an important chapter of their elementary school journey and prepared for the exciting opportunities that await them in middle school.
Throughout their time at Paul V. Fly, these students have grown as learners, leaders, friends, and members of our school community. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments.
Thank you to our families, teachers, and staff for supporting and encouraging our students every step of the way. It truly takes a village, and today's celebration was a reflection of the strong partnership we share.
Congratulations, 4th graders! We wish you continued success as you take your next steps forward. Once a Fly Falcon, always a Fly Falcon! 💙🦅

What a wonderful evening celebrating our kindergarten students during their end-of-year concert, "Peace Out, Kindergarten!"
Our young performers did an outstanding job sharing their talents through music, movement, and smiles as they showcased all they have learned throughout the school year. From Peace in My Heart to We Are First Graders, our students filled the room with joy, confidence, and excitement for the journey ahead.
A heartfelt thank you to all of the parents, family members, friends, and community members who joined us to support and celebrate our students. Your presence helped make the evening truly special and created lasting memories for our children.
A special thank you goes to Mrs. Emily Bulman for her dedication, creativity, and hard work in preparing our students for this memorable performance. We are grateful for the many opportunities she provides for our students to shine.
As we prepare to say goodbye to kindergarten and look ahead to first grade, we couldn't be prouder of all our students have accomplished this year.
💙💛 Congratulations, Kindergarten Class of 2026! We are so proud of you! 💛💙

Mr. Fusco recently took a his students outside to enjoy a beautiful outdoor learning experience while reading Action Jackson. Students were engaged, excited to participate, and fully immersed in the story as they enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine.
Experiences like these remind us that learning can happen anywhere and that a change of scenery can spark curiosity, conversation, and a love of reading. Great job, Mr. Fusco and our third graders, for making the most of a beautiful day while bringing literature to life!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this special reward such a fun and memorable experience for our students!
