Middle School Sports and Activities
Welcome to Grain Valley Middle School Activities! We encourage our middle school students to participate in activities offered in the Grain Valley School District. Our sports & activities staff thoroughly enjoy working with students and will commit to helping your child grow, prosper, and develop as a high-character individual. Research tells us that students who are involved perform better academically and achieve at a higher level throughout life.
Purpose
The role of our activities program is to teach, promote, and build character and skills for all of those involved. Involvement in the activities program will assist students in becoming high-functioning adults who can succeed in society by using the qualities promoted by the individual programs, coaches, teammates, and the overall activities program philosophy.
