While many say the best way to learn is by doing, this week our PVHS dancers joined with dancers from PVPHS for a field trip to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for a performance by the Marinsky Ballet. This opportunity allowed our students to continue studying the art of dance outside of the classroom. Thank you Ms. Mastan for this opportunity for our students!

Sea Kings love to support and give back to the community and with the Skecher's Walk this weekend was no different. Over 350 Sea Kings donated over $10,000 towards the Skecher's Walk.

7. Cardboard Challenge Spotlight
|
Over 150 students were in and out of the library this week for the Cardboard Challenge Takeover. Students worked in teams to design and construct their projects. Originating from the short film “Caine’s Arcade”, the Cardboard Challenge is now an international maker event that brings people together for collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, community, and fun. Our Sea King students created forts, thrones, model buses and rockets, arcade games, ball toss games, mini golf courses, boats, working light sabers, and even a dragon that walked the halls of PV High. Students used materials of plastic screws, tape, glue, other found and sundry items., and of course, A LOT of cardboard. They shared, helped, communicated, sometimes failed, problem-solved, and persevered.

Builders talked about structural soundness, stability, weight distribution, and juncture points. They made videos sharing their projects which were then linked to QR codes that were printed on stickers and attached to the projects. Players can scan the codes with their phones and see the creators present their work. Great work was done by all those who participated in the build and a big thank you to all those who came to play, and to Ms. Warren, Ms. Sheridan, and Ms. Loh-Norris for helping to promote participation. There’s still time to come play on Monday before the arcade is deconstructed. The cardboard challenge will be back next year, but the building tools are always in the library anytime the design-mind takes hold!
Special projects like this and others are made possible by the PTSA’s Library Fund.

MUSICAL HIT ‘CHICAGO: HIGH SCHOOL EDITION’
SET TO TAKE THE STAGE AT PV HIGH
Broadway’s longest-running American musical, Chicago, will be presented by the PVHS Drama Department for seven performances November 8th-17th. Set in 1920’s Chicago, and based on true events, Chicago follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star arrested for murdering her lover, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband to lie for her. Facing conviction and death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” - Velma Kelly - vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune, and acquittal. With a dazzling score of award-winning hits like “Cell Block Tango,” “Razzle Dazzle,” and “All That Jazz,” Chicago is both captivating and wildly entertaining. Performances run November 8-9 and 15-16 at 7:00pm, November 10 and 17 at 2:00pm, and November 14 at 4:00pm in the PVHS MPR. This production is recommended for ages 13 and over. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students. Premium table seating is also available for $30 per person (includes a light snack and refreshment). Tickets can be purchased at the student store or online at
