Remembering Jayar Santos
PVD Prep is establishing a scholarship in memory of our beloved colleague, Jayar Santos. This scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating eighth grade student from PVD Prep who exemplifies Jayar’s positive spirit and dedication to community. This scholarship will be managed by the Rhode Island Foundation. To contribute to the scholarship, please consider making a donation here.
In the summer of 2021 (before PVD Prep opened) all of our incoming teachers recorded a short, one-minute video introducing themselves to their soon-to-be students. Below is the video that Jayar recorded for PVD Prep. We think this video is classic Jayar - funny, welcoming and ready to build up the community. Thank you for keeping Jayar and his family in mind when watching his welcome video.
