PARENTS AND STUDENTS:

Due to the weather getting warmer, no beanies are to be worn on campus.

PTA is holding a fundraiser on Tuesday, March 21st, 2017. It will be at Me & Ed's Pizza, 1530 N. Ben Maddox Way from 5:00pm-9:00pm. Flyers will be sent home with the students and must be presented to the cashier to ensure GWHS receives credit for the pizza purchased.  Thank you for your support!

It's time for our 3rd Annual Visalia River Run on May 6th.  Early registration ends April 1st.
Sign up on Active.com by searching Visalia River Run or ask a band or orchestra student for a registration form. This is also a great team building experience for any clubs and/or sports. If you know any one that would like to be a sponsor of the Visalia River Run please contact Mr. McFarlane or Mr. Sosa.

"The high school attendance incentive program-"It's Cool to Go to School"-is back!  Any student with PERFECT attendance this year is automatically entered into the drawing for a new Nissan Versa, courtesy of the Groppetti Automotive Family.  There are two ways to achieve PERFECT attendance this year; please visit your Attendance Office for contest information.

It is our pleasure to announce the Solar Project is moving along as scheduled.  We anticipate the transition of the barrier fencing to move from the north parking lot to the central and south parking lot on 2/18/17.   Please note there will be very minimal parking available in this area.  During this phase the fencing will remain in this location until March 24, as they will also move forward with the instillation of the solar framing.  We would like to thank you for your patience thus far and as we continue with this exciting project.

COUNSELING DEPARTMENT:
The Red Sand Project is a nationwide participatory art exhibit to bring awareness to the issue of human trafficking.   It will be part of the Visalia Arts Consortium's First Friday Art Walk on May 5th.  Visalia Rotary club members will give out the red sand and host information booths on human trafficking at the Visalia Fox Theatre from 5:00-8:00 p.m.  Attendees will fill cracks with the sand all along the Art Walk route. Rotarians of Visalia invite us to join with them to fight human trafficking in our community. The Visalia Rotarians are also hosting a Red Sand Art Project with $500 & $1000 college scholarships.  Please see the Golden West Scholarship web page for an application.
