What are Donut Socials at SVMS?

A celebration of success for academics

Donut Socials are one form of celebration for academic success at Star Valley Middle School. SVMS believes in promoting student academic success on a regular basis. Forms of celebration include: donut socials, dances and warrior clan activities, just to name a few. As a school, we feel it is important to have at least one of these celebrations monthly. Students are encouraged and required to keep their grades in the C range or higher to be able to participate in these celebrations. On January 3rd, a new semester begins. This means a clean start for everyone.

CLASSY – a continued focus at SVMS

Count Your Blessings – Look for the Good – Acts of Kindness – Self-Motivation – Service – You are Valued

 It is our hope that students will remember the pillars of CLASSY and find use for them in their lives. We hope all students understand their value. Never forget “You Are Valued”. Begin with “I am”… smart, helpful, kind, loyal, fun, honest, hard working, playful, beautiful, etc…
