Our fall Parent-Teacher Conferences were today! There was a usual high turnout for conferences, Oakhurst Medical Centers joined us to provide parents with information, and we tested our new GVP backdrop for photos. Thanks to our parents, mentors, interpreters, alumnae, conference volunteers and staff making this a successful conference. Special thank you to our Operations Manager, Denise Reidy-Puckett, for organizing this event. Reporting our girls' progress and working together with our community towards achieving GVP's mission is our top priority! #GlobalVillageProject #FallConferences @ Global Village Project ...

Today GVP girls visited the Google Fiber Atlanta office. Our Form 3 students spent a few hours with the Google team engaging in coding activities, games and had lunch with the staff. Students gave coding instructions to a Google staffer for practice and then applied their knowledge using a Wonder Woman video game. There was also a career panel with a few of the team members. They discussed their path to working at Google and their roles. Thanks to our volunteer and Google staffer, Mariana McCready, for coordinating this field trip with our Math Teacher, Linda Smiley. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience. #GoogleAtlanta #GlobalVillageProject #STEAM #Coding #GirlsThatCode ... See MoreSee Less

Today GVP hosted 8th grade students from Atlanta Girls' School for a mixer. GVP and AGS girls were able to exchange during social time and participate in a group STEAM challenge to see if their toothpick marshmallow towers could survive a jello earthquake. This was a great cultural exchange experience and loads of fun to get the two all-girls schools together. Thanks for visiting GVP, AGS! #Mixer #STEAMchallenge #GVPcollaborations #GirlsEducation #GlobalVillageProject #AtlantaGirlsSchool ... See MoreSee Less
