Grandville Senior Survivor 2024
What is Senior Survivor?
Senior survivor is a week long charity event where 16 seniors will be chosen to move into the high school, and live within the halls of GHS for the week until they are "voted off". Participants will compete with one another to raise as much money as possible to go towards our GHS Student Assistance Fund. This year we are adding in Junior Survivors! We will have 16 elementary/middle school students that are partnered with our seniors to help them fundraise and raise money for our lower level building student assistance funds as well. During this week our contestants will be challenged, alliances will be made, money will be raised, and fun will be had. At the end of the week we will crown the survivor that has raised the most money victorious!
How Do Seniors Raise Money?
Seniors can raise money in a variety of ways. The most common is through a GoFundMe page that each survivor will create. This page will be shared out on this website, and also can be shared out via various social media platforms. Other ways seniors can raise money include selling t-shirts, choosing to sell other items during the school day, and winning reward challenges
What Does the Money Go Towards?
All money raised will go towards our GHS Student Assistance Fund.
GHS Student Assistance fund is a fund created for when a student or GHS family is in need. Student Assistance funds are used to buy winter coats and gloves, restock items in the food pantry, help pay for needed items in a home, purchase school supplies or backpacks, or provide opportunities to fund unique educational experiences for students throughout the year. This is a cause that can greatly benefit those right here in our own Grandville community and make a positive impact for a child or family in need.

What Will the Survivors Do During the Week?
During the time our 16 survivors will spend living in the building they will not be allowed to leave the high school campus, and will turn in all technology. After school hours they will participate in challenges similar to those of the TV Show Survivor. Survivor contestants will be eliminated from the game based on immunity challenges and money raised for the charity.
