Drop the rock!!!
At PVE, we "drop rocks" into WIG mountains all year long. Students choose a rock and write their name and the date they met their Wildly Important Goal (WIG). The rock signifies the small steps we take to reach BIG goals that are wildly important. Together, when every Hawk is dropping rocks, we build the mountain of our dreams- EVERY child is literate and ready to LEAD!! Way to go ALEX!! He is the first student to DROP A ROCK in 2019-2020!!!!!!!!!!
