Traditions

Traditions are a very important part of Oak Valley Middle School. Every year, we try to continue the traditions and pass them down to the lower grades.

Bothering Mr. Geib
Multiple generations have attempted to annoy him to earn a Geiby, either by annoying him, or doing weird things.

Concerts
Usually, during orchestra concerts, students think of something creative to do, like bring glowsticks, wear hats, or wear fake mustaches.

Bassies awards
Started in 2014-2015, the bassists give out awards to everyone they know. They are a parody for the beloved Geibies, so we can continue the tradition even when he is gone. The Bassies are made by the bassists, Duh.

Masterpieces
Normally served during lunchtime, a masterpiece is a wide variety of food from all food groups beautifully put together. After it is skillfully made, a masterpiece is shared with a random unsuspecting stranger and the stranger's reaction is watched with much amusement. Usually done with many people surrounding it, so the janitor doesn't find out. Also is usually done in someone else's lunch tray.

Backpack Stealing
Can be very annoying if done the right way. One person steals the backpack and runs off. Another person takes their remaining stuff while the person chases down their bag.

Zip Tie
Some people zip-tie others' bags so they can't get any of their stuff.
