PVS PTO

Primary Village South is such a special school in large part due to the hundreds of volunteers who make a difference here each year! We welcome parents, family members and local community members who would like to offer their time and talent to enrich the lives of our students, teacher and staff. Whether you choose to take on a specific role or just help as needed, we greatly appreciate your support!
