High School Basketball Mini Night
 
The GVHS Cheerleaders continued their Be a Mini night tradition at the GVHS Girls Basketball game. The GV Cheerleaders had so much fun! They got to warm up together and stand on the court before the game. They continued the fun by cheering with the high school team during the basketball game.

We are busy planning our upcoming cheerfit choreography clinics. Details are coming soon! For more information, please contact cheer@gvco.org.
Celebration banquet
Even though we still have a few more basketball games to cheer at, the GV Cheer families got to celebrate their cheerleaders at the year end banquet.

GVCO Project Update
GVCO is excited to announce that we have been awarded $750,000.00 of state funding to assist with the construction of our new GVCO Community Center. With the help of Senator Comitta to secure the funding, GVCO sees this as another milestone towards making this wonderful community asset a reality for Great Valley and the surrounding region.
 
Please see Senator Comitta's recent announcement of the grant this past Monday. We would also like to thank Governor Wolf and the Office of the Budget of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for authorizing this award, supporting GVCO and our project.
