Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! The groundhog was a hot topic of conversation around here on Friday, but despite what it “said,” I don’t know that anyone is really convinced of the accuracy! (I also think there are a few people still really hoping for a good old-fashioned snowstorm or two before all is said and done this winter.) We have lots to do between now and February break, so we appreciate uninterrupted stretches of time for learning!
100th Day of School
Unless something unexpected happens between now and then, the 100th day of school will be on Thursday, February 8th. (This date has been Kindergarten-approved!) Nice to have a little space between that and Valentine’s Day - it gets a little hectic around here when those dates line up! Classroom teachers will be in touch if there’s anything they need family support for regarding that day.
Food Rescue Program Support Needed
Greenwood has been doing such a great job reducing food waste through our volunteer-run food rescue program, and they could use more help! If you’re able to help out by signing up to pick up food from school and/or drop off food at designated locations, that would be great! Please use the WPS Food Rescue 2024:Sign Up Genius form to select the day(s) you’re able to support. Thanks in advance!
Lunchroom Volunteers
Thank you to all of the fantastically dedicated volunteers who have been making lunchtime a little brighter! You are so greatly appreciated!! Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:10 pm on school days? Or 10:30-11:50 am on regular early release days? Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood? Then join us for our lunchroom volunteer opportunities! If you’d like to come in and help support students while they’re eating lunch, please see the linked Sign-Up Genius to select time slots through the end of February. Single days, multiple days, one-time slot, the whole lunch block…we welcome any helpers!
Lunchroom volunteers will help students with those tricky thermoses, hand out napkins and utensils, support students while they sort items into composting/food rescue/trash, and help clean tables at the end of each lunch. Oh, and the most important thing - bring smiles and laughter!
NOTE: You will need to have a CORI form completed before coming in for any lunch shifts - please contact Ms. Paiva about the process or to check if you have a current one on file
Greenwood School Social Media
We are on Facebook and Instagram, and one of my personal goals this year is to show off the fun we’re having throughout Greenwood! Check us out - @wpsgreenwood on both Instagram and Facebook!
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for everything you do to support your children and their learning! Let’s have a great week!
