Great Valley promotes 140 8th graders onto high school
GV drive
Parents and eighth-grade students at Great Valley School express thanks to teachers and staff at last week’s drive-thru parade and promotion ceremony.

Great Valley Elementary School recently wrapped up the school year last week with a drive-thru parade as part of the eighth-grade promotion ceremony.

Included were some 140 or so classmates representing the Class of 2020 receiving congratulation from Principal Jacalyn Davis along with the vice-principal trio of Karen Olson, Dennis Filippini, and Lisa Goodwin. 

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the drive-thru celebration was conducted with social distancing in mind coupled with the YouTube virtual program.

The program consisted of student messages by Ysabella Beltran and Fatima Pardo Rivas, with Darryl Cayabyab and Ranaya Singh as well as Principal Davis – she also gave special recognitions to select students – providing the welcoming for the viewers.

In addition, the Weston Ranch High administration team was on hand to welcome the eighth graders who are the soon-to-be-freshmen class.
