Summer basketball registration CLOSES TODAY AT 5PM

June 1, 2021

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

GVBL registration closes Tuesday, June 1st at 5PM

In addition this summer…

Our GVBL 2021 summer league will begin June 14^th and run until August 12th. The league will be eligible to boys going into 1^st through 12^th grades and girls going into 1^st through 8^th grades in the fall of 2021. Games will be played on Monday through Thursday evenings. GVBL will be taking a maximum of 80 registrants per division. The high school division will be limited to GVSD residents only.

As always we will be looking for volunteers to coach at the elementary/MS divisions.

COVID-19 continues to hamper our ability to get indoor court space within our GVSD school buildings, as the district facilities remain closed to non school district usage. GVBL has secured outdoor court space within the district and we will be holding our summer league outdoors - as we did in the early 2000's - in the summer of 2021.

Congratulations

Mac Sullivan!

Caring Hands Scholarship Recipient

GVCO would like to thank and congratulate Mac Sullivan for her years of dedicated community service through our Caring Hands foundation.

GVCO established an annual scholarship award to be granted to a high school senior who most exemplifies the values of the GVCO Caring Hands through volunteerism, leadership, and community service.

GVCO Caring Hands was established to empower local middle and high school students to support their community by raising funds for those individuals, families, or organizations in our community experiencing hardship, tragedies or catastrophic events. In addition as a Caring Hands a student-run community outreach program, students are organized by the group's student leaders to volunteer for numerous events throughout the year.

Summer Tutoring

MyIvyExperience.com

This school year brought with it many challenges. Students should be looking to finish this school year as strong as possible while any academic deficiencies need to be addressed to ensure future success.

This summer presents an opportunity for students of all ages to catch up on any school subjects they have fallen behind on, especially in cumulative courses like math, where each prior year builds on the last. Whether your student needs to catch up on course content, or get a head start on preparing for the SAT/ACT, contact us to set up a call to discuss their academic situation and what Ivy Experience can do to support them.

GVCO Project Update

GVCO CHOOSES LOCAL COMMUNITY BANK & LONG TIME PARTNER FOR NEW GVCO COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT

GVCO recently announced it has chosen Meridian Bank to handle its financing needs with our new GVCO Community Center project. An appraisal of the property has been ordered and our GVCO Board, along with MacElree Harvey, Ltd are finalizing the terms of the loan. IMC Construction, GVCO’s general contractor, is finalizing the construction budget and timeline for Meridian.

Our GVCO Board felt it was important to choose a local banking partner who also has a vested interest in our Great Valley community. Meridian was a logical choice beyond the outlined initial terms. Chris Annas, the bank's founder has long-lasting ties to our community and GVCO…having lived here and his kids participating in GVCO programming. Meridian was also the bank chosen back in 2005 when GVBL needed a Letter of Credit in order to open the old GVBL Center on Bacton Hill Rd.

GVCO looks forward to continuing to work with our long time banking partner Meridian Bank, to bring this wonderful community asset, the new GVCO Community Center to fruition for entire community to enjoy.
