PVS Trip to USC!

by 2 Comments

By Shelby Armor

On January 28, PVS California Scholarship Federation students and friends took a trip to the University of Southern California to watch the Trojan men’s basketball team beat the Cal Berkeley Bears. Along the way, they got a campus tour from PVS Alumni Nick Kaufmann and lunch at USC’s new multi-function Village.

PVS students pose in front of USC’s iconic “Tommy Trojan” for a photo. Can you spot alumnus Nick Kaufmann? Chaperones Mr. Zuniga and Mr. Killeen?

PVS students pay rapt attention to USC freshman and PVS alumnus Nick Kaufmann as he leads a campus tour. Note senior Sydney Scheck’s intense interest.

What is the most challenging course at Palm Valley School? In Statistics class, I learned how to make a chart and compile data. So, out of curiosity, I started an anonymous questionnaire called “Name Your Two Most Challenging Classes.” I interviewed 30 PVS upper-school students from across all grades. Given how we all groan about how hard our science classes are, the results were a little . . . surprising. Thank you to all who participated!
