We are into WEEK THREE of SBAC/ CAASPP testing and now in the Math portion! We will be on our final week of block schedule and our students are ROCKING THIS TEST!!!
How can you help at home? Check out THIS WEBSITE and the video above for more information and how you can support your Viking at home!
ALSO! Please make sure that your Viking brings their own earbuds DAILY! We will provide them, however, we know that most students prefer to use their own! THANK YOU!
Have you heard of the "deodorant challenge"? We had not either until we watched this video and read all about it! This challenge is where kids spray themselves or each other with aerosol deodorant until the burn resembles frostbite or a burn and they hold it on there for as long as they can stand it. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? It's actually been around for a very long time, however, it seems to be making a come back. Please be on the look out!
Sport O Rama is COMING Friday, June 1st from 3:15-5:15 in our gym!! This is an awesome team building/game playing event that we love to include the whole school and our families! Cost is $2.00 per person and $5.00 per family! PE Department will be selling snacks for purchase and it will all be a great time!

We are already planning for and fielding phone calls for 8th grade promotion! Please mark your calendars for Thursday, June 7 beginning at 10 am! Here are a few things to note:
- All 8th graders get 4 tickets ONLY
- Tickets are available AFTER Memorial Day weekend and will be signed over to the students directly! Lost tickets cannot be replaced!
- Rain or shine, we will be outside in the amphitheater
- We ask that all signs, balloons, or anything else blocking the view of other families be left outside or we will hold it in our front office
- If you want to bring your own chair, please do so
- Gates for families promotion will not be opened until 9:30 AM
- Any sibling that attends GVMS and wants to attend promotion, must be signed out by an adult on their emergency card and must also have a ticket!
- All 8th graders are dismissed immediately after promotion ends
Please help us support our furry friends with our SPCA Hands To Paws Drive happening now until May 24! Our Leadership students are collecting new pet items and donation to support the SPCA! Help out if you can! Thanks!
Please remember that we have DAILY morning announcements (HERE), where important information is shared with all Vikings! While it is shared over the loud speaker, all teachers project it and hard copies are always available in the front office and the library. Additionally, it is always updated on our website! Please make sure that you (along with your Viking) stay up to date on all information from GVMS. Thank you!
*CHECK OUT OUR PROJECTS!!* THERE ARE MANY NEW ONES TOO!!
We are ALWAYS thinking outside the box to create effective ways to reach all of our students! Want to be a part of this?? All donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!! Check out THIS LINK to see ALL OF the different ideas that our VERY OWN GVMS teachers have come up with! NEW PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ADDED!!
