Happy November!

We hope you had a safe and Happy Halloween, and remembered the time change!

We wanted to send SEVERAL SUPER big thank yous to MULTIPLE GROUPS!  To our GVMS PTC and Families for supporting our fundraising efforts and purchasing 17 Chrome Books for two of our classrooms that did not have them!  We are really trying to become a 1:1 device school, where every student has a device to use when they come to GVMS. THANK YOU PTC!  To our volunteers for supervising the dance!  Thank you!  To our parents that joined our Watch D.O.G.S. Program!  Thank you!

Have you seen our SUPER STARS at GVMS?  These are ALL of our amazing students who earned Honor Roll and Principal List Awards!  We couldn't be MORE proud of them!

Still want ways to support our staff and teachers?  We have PLENTY of ways as our teachers are always trying to engage our students in multiple ways!!

PTC also funded one of our Challenge Days so that we could offer this to both 7th and 8th graders!  Be sure to check out what it's all about HERE!! Want to be involved with Challenge Day on December 14th or 15th?  There are several different ways!  First, please take a look at our  GoFundMe Page here as we are trying to get sponsors for t-shirts and lunch!  Also, if you are interested in volunteering your time on either day, please email our counselor, Mrs. Bates HERE! to get your name on our list!  We may not have enough room for all parents but would love to work to have you all here!

Have you spent time on our WEBSITE to see everything that is going on at GVMS? It's a WEALTH of information and it's updated by Ms. Toll daily!

Due to the impact of our enrollment, there will be NO SCHEDULE changes for electives until the semester break (December 18th).  We are so tightly packed, that we cannot make any changes until this time as this is when semester electives will change anyway.
