Dear Parents,
As the 2010-2011 comes to an end we are preparing for many
end-of year activities. . Seniors and underclassmen have
started taking their final exams and we are already getting
ready for commencement exercises.
We are
planning to hold the 2010-2011 graduation ceremony at the
Panther Valley High School stadium in Lansford if we have
agreeable weather. If weather conditions are unfavorable,
or if there is a high likelihood of excessive heat or rain,
we will hold the ceremony in the Panther Valley High School
Auditorium. The event will begin at 7:00 PM on Thursday
June 9, 2011 and ddors will be opened at 6:00 PM. Graduation
is a special, dignified event at Panther Valley. In order
to preserve the integrity of the ceremony we will only allow
family members with tickets to attend graduation exercises.
We are
very proud of the Class of 2011. Their high standards and
work ethic have enabled them to leave a legacy of excellence
that must now be upheld or surpassed at Panther Valley High
School. It is with great affection and respect that we see
them off to continue on their life journeys. Congratulations
Class of 2011!
Cordially,
Mr. Joseph A. Gunnels
PVHS Building Principal
