SAGES,
In memory of nine-year-old Easton D. Wilsey, a student at Prairieview Ogden who tragically passed away last week, we ask that you show your support by wearing Orange and Blue (POV school colors) this Thursday, Sept. 14th. This will also be the theme for our home volleyball game v. Mt. Zion. Our hearts go out to the Wilsey family and all of the POV community.
