Thank you to those parents that came to the dance on 11/3 to help chaperone and help our Leadership students with the concessions!  We couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you to the parents that stopped by GV Cellars on 11/4 for the Pouring with the Principals!  We had a blast and will report out what was made to help students in Napa and Sonoma Counties!

Thank you for those that participated in our Mountain Mike's Dine and Donate on 11/7!  Every little bit we raise helps our school and our students!

It's that time of year again when we, at GVMS, do our best to support those in need!  We are currently collecting canned goods for Solano County Food Bank and new toys for our Toys Drive with Officer Holecek!  Thank  you for all of your generosity as we have been able to donate MULTIPLE backpacks, school supplies and more to those in need due to the wild fires in Nor Cal.

If you are able to donate canned goods or a new toy for those in need, please send them in!  THANK YOU!!

As parents, we all STRIVE to teach our kids responsibility and, in middle school, it can be especially challenging.  How do we handle this and how do we encourage this when they aren't in our care and are at school?  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE on ways to encourage your middle school student to make smart decisions, be kind, be responsible, and to do the right thing EVEN when no one is watching!

We continue to do our best to encourage our student to make SMART and KIND decisions at GVMS and in life.  That being said, many students (especially when they get to middle school) feel it's time to express themselves and repeat the disrespectful words that they hear others use.  PLEASE encourage your student to not use foul language.  Click HERE for an article on ways to curb foul language.  You would be VERY surprised to hear what comes out of the mouths of some of our students. 

We have already held three parent engagement nights (Back to School Night, Planning for College with RHS, and All Things Tech at GVMS) and we are hoping that you will join us for our next one coming up!  

*NEW DATE* Please join us on Wednesday, DECEMBER 6th from 5:30-6:30 for our first ever STEAM Night, run by OUR students in the gym! Come and see what we have been doing in STEAM, STEM, Robotics, Coding, and more!

Hope to see you all there!

*UPDATED WITH ALL NEW PROJECTS!!*

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!!
