Heart & Sole is Girls on the Run's middle school program that meets the unique needs of girls in 6th-8th grade. The program considers the whole girl - body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Running is incorporated into each lesson to encourage physical wellness and teach life skills. The girls prepare for a non-competitive 5K event at the end of the season which fosters goal setting and a sense of confidence through accomplishment. Registration for the fall season opens Tuesday, September 4th at 7pm. The 10-week season begins the week of September 17th and girls will meet twice a week after school until the 5K on December 1st.

Required Summer Reading

SVMS is committed to curbing the summer slide. SVMS promotes summer reading. All rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students must read one book off the summer reading list. They will take a quiz on the chosen book upon returning to school in August. The list provides information about the book’s genre, a short description, the number of pages, and the reading level. If you click on the title you will be directed to a site that has a preview of the book (usually the first chapter). Students who will be enrolled in English I must read Animal Farm by George Orwell. That is the only book required of English I students.

Hooray for Walk-a-thon!

The 2018 Annual Strides for Success Walk-a-thon was a day full of fun, exercise, and camaraderie. Students started the day with a movie, allowing the sun to come out, and then it was followed by rotations of games, Walk-a-thon, freeze pops, and magic. Smiles were seen all over the school.
