Connection Collection One of the most valuable tenets of the Parents Association is community, and COVID certainly presented a challenge since in-person gatherings could not happen. With that in mind, the PA orchestrated a series of online events designed to enable people to engage with one another and with the School in valuable ways. Connection Collection events included: Candlelit Yin Yoga Mt. Sinai Presents "COVID’s Impact on the Brain" #GVSfit Peloton Rides Mr. Quinlan Discusses his Dissertation Virtual Beer Tasting Executive Functioning Pointers for Parents Campus Walk & Talks Cinco de Mayo Mixology End of Year Meditation (June 3)
Development and PA Events A KNIGHT at the Drive-Thru After a spring term spent off campus and learning online, the return to school in September, in the context of very new routines, might have presented a bit of culture shock or at least apprehension. After all, for young students, six months away from Green Vale was an eternity. In that vein, the PA and Development Office collaborated to plan a festive “Welcome Back” event in the form of a slow drive through campus. There were waving teachers and signage along the route, as well as eager parents safely handing out give-aways.
