Civil War Day is June 8, 2026

It's that time of year again when history comes to life on the grounds of GVS. Please join us for Civil War Day on Monday, June 8th.

This is a coveted all-day community-wide event. The day is staffed by reenactors and volunteers dressed in period-appropriate attire engaging in daily activities typical of a Civil War camp, replete with cannon firings, first-aid tents, marching, an officers' tent, a kitchen, even a graveyard. 

Volunteers are needed to make this day a success. Many of the tasks (such as cooking/baking era-appropriate food) are easily done from home ahead of time if you cannot make it to school on the day of the event.

If you are interested in lending a hand, please contact Ms. Bechta: [email protected]
