Park Village Elementary has the most dedicated staff I've ever seen...I mean our principal dresses as a penguin for the kids!!! With the school budget cuts this year, our parents have stepped up to the plate, making improvements to the school, helping in every classroom, and buying the necessary equipment needed to run our school on a given day. I love Park Village Elementary and am proud to be a part of this school!
