The students of Pleasant View Elementary School will host the inaugural community wide My School Color Run on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. to raise money for their school. 

The My School Color Run is an untimed 3K fun run for all ages and fitness abilities. 
 
Along the route, participants pass through vibrant color zones, making it a “colorful experience.” 
 
Additionally, each pre-registered participant is provided with a single powder color packet that will be thrown in the air at the final color celebration at the finish line. 
 
“Rather than sell goods, we want to engage the entire student body in a fitness initiative that aims to encourage a lifelong healthy way of living,” said organizers Jenny Alverson and Amy Whitworth.
 
Participants that register by Friday, Oct. 20 will receive a T-shirt, race bib and individual color packet. 
 
You can sign up for the run by visiting PVESmscr.eventbrite.com or by completing a paper registration form. 
 
Business sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information about sponsorships, contact Alverson or Whitworth at 615-746-5031.
 

The Cheatham County School District has named Amy Castleberry as the new academic specialist at Pegram Elementary School.
 
Castleberry, a longtime Pleasant View Elementary School teacher, replaces Dawn Wenning, who is the new principal at Kingston Springs Elementary School.
 
Castleberry is a 1997 graduate of Cheatham County Central High School and a 2002 graduate of Austin Peay State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education.
 
She began her teaching career in 2003 at PVES. She taught second grade for eight years and first grade for six years.
 
Castleberry was a member of the school district’s Aspiring Administrator’s Academy in 2016.
 
In 2017, she graduated from Capella University with her master's degree in Educational Leadership.
 
“I am very excited to begin this journey and developing new relationship at Pegram. I will deeply miss Pleasant View Elementary School because it has been my home since 1986, but I am thankful for the opportunity to become the academic specialist at Pegram,” she said.
 
Castleberry lives in Chapmansboro with her husband, Jeff, and two sons, Dillon and Preston.

Having worked in the cafeteria at Pleasant View Elementary for 35 years, Ms. Patsy Shearon is making a difference in the lives of our students. 

Larry Dunlap (Adventure Science Center) came to Pleasant View Elementary School to host the first Science Night for the district. Each elementary school will host this wonderful night at their school, which is a great opportunity for students to have fun while learning about science. Students and parents collected data, created hypothesis, and participated in 10 different experiment stations. 

Pleasant View Elementary School hosted its annual Panther Prowl 5K and 1-mile fun run on Saturday, March 14. Event organizers said the superhero-themed event was originally scheduled for March 7, but was rescheduled due to inclement weather. 

According to school principal, Keith Miller, the event was welcomed by the community with a host of sponsors and over 240 registered participants. "At this time, our dollar amounts are unofficial, but we are expecting to raise between $7,000 and $8,000," said Miller. 

Miller said event proceeds will support the school's safety and wellness programs.
