Day of Silence is this Friday, April 17th. Day of Silence is a national day of action in which students across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. GLSENs Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment and effective responses. The goal of the Day of Silence is to make schools safer for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. In a Harris Interactive study on bullying, students said two of the top three reasons students are harassed in school are actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender expression. Additionally, nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT students experience harassment at school. Students across the country participate in GLSENs Day of Silence to bring attention to this problem, let students who experience such bullying know that they are not alone and ask schools to take action to address the problem. During the week, the VVHS GSA will be signing people up to participate in the Day of Silence before school in A hall and during lunch in A hall and H hall. Come sign up… Silence CAN create change!
Senate 2015-16: Any student interested in participating in senate next year please stop by the activities office at lunch to pick up an application.
April is Autism Awareness month. To help VVHS be more aware of Autism we would like to bring you an Autism Quote each day.

MEDIA CENTER: Did you know that $250,000 was spent in the furnishing of the Library? This amount doesn't even include the thousands of dollars spent on books and technology. This is a fairly new library, yet damage has been done to the carpet and furniture, especially by the computers. Please take pride in your library and refrain from bringing in and consuming food and drinks in the library, thank you!
