📱💡 Garnet Valley students are taking the lead on an important issue impacting today’s youth and healthy technology use.
Recently featured by CBS Philadelphia, members of our Garnet Valley High School student-led initiative, Garnet Valley Screen Smart, visited Bethel Springs Elementary to help third graders build positive habits around screen time. Through engaging conversations and real-life strategies, our students are empowering younger learners to find balance in a digital world.
From setting time limits to prioritizing responsibilities and unplugging to enjoy outdoor activities, these lessons are already making an impact and it’s all driven by our students leading by example.
We are incredibly proud of these student leaders for turning awareness into action and helping shape a healthier future for our school community. 💙

April 2nd is World Autism Acceptance Day.
April is also Autism Acceptance Month—a time to deepen our understanding and continue building inclusive, supportive communities.
Today, we celebrate the unique strengths, perspectives, and contributions of individuals with autism across our GV community and beyond.
Autism acceptance is about more than awareness—it’s about creating inclusive environments where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
We encourage our community to continue learning, listening, and embracing neurodiversity—not just today, but every day.

Kindergarten students at CES recently wrapped up their CKLA Knowledge unit on Native Americans! Students explored what life was like in the Wampanoag, Lenape, and Lakota tribes, making connections to similarities and differences within their own communities.
In addition to learning about Native American cultures, students practiced writing complete sentences to share their knowledge. This learning will continue as students revisit Native American studies in both 3rd and 5th grade as part of the CKLA curriculum.

In Ms. Kunze's 6th grade Earth Science classes, students are bringing Earth’s 4.5 billion-year history to life by creating scaled timelines, where just 2 meters represents the entire lifespan of our planet. Through research and creativity, they are transforming their timelines into interactive “museum exhibits,” complete with informative blurbs.
The Elementary After School Activities offer a multitude of activities that meet the varied interests of our students. Parents will notice that some clubs are designed to be developmentally appropriate and may specify a particular grade level of the student participants.
Activities are school specific and run during the Spring.
This brochure is for some clubs beginning Tuesday, April 7th. The last session for some clubs will be late May.

GV is celebrating World Down Syndrome Day by “Rocking Our Socks”!
While March 21st is recognized globally, our students and staff showed their support a little early today by wearing bright, bold, and mismatched socks. This fun tradition helps spark important conversations about inclusion, acceptance, and celebrating what makes each of us unique.
World Down Syndrome Day is observed on 3/21 to represent the triplication of the 21st chromosome. The “Rock Your Socks” campaign is a simple yet powerful way to raise awareness and show support for individuals with Down syndrome.
We are proud of our GV community for coming together to spread kindness, understanding, and inclusion—one colorful sock at a time! 💛💙
